BOSTON -- Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright is experiencing some discomfort in his right shoulder and will be scratched from his scheduled start against the Yankees on Thursday.
With the off-day the Red Sox had on Monday, manager John Farrell will pitch Eduardo Rodriguez on regular rest on Thursday in place of Wright.
David Price will start Friday's game against the Diamondbacks with Clay Buchholz moving back into the rotation to start Saturday.
Wright has not yet been placed on the disabled list. Farrell thinks Wright tweaked his shoulder swinging the bat during his complete game shutout against the Dodgers on Friday.
