BOSTON -- Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright was sent to New York for a second opinion on his ailing left knee from Dr. Riley Williams, a knee specialist.
Once those findings are released, the Red Sox will have a better idea of how long Wright will be out of action.
The struggling right-hander was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday, retroactive to Sunday. Right-handed reliever Brandon Workman was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to take Wright's spot on the roster.
The Red Sox will call up a pitcher from Triple-A Pawtucket to start in Wright's place on Thursday.
