Steven Wright Placed on Disabled List Before Long Road Trip

Steven Wright (right shoulder inflammation) has been placed on the disabled list, retroactive to August 8. The Red Sox hoped Wright would be able to start against the Tigers Thursday night, but Clay Buchholz will get the ball instead.

Wright:

It's just not progressing the way I thought it was going to. It just hurts, man. I don't want to go out there and throw with too much pain because I don't want to start compensating. If it's hurting as much as it has been on flat ground, you start adding the mound and all that adrenaline, the last thing I want to do is hurt myself even more.
