BOSTON -- With the pitching staff nearly back to full strength for the Red Sox, the two rehabbing players to keep an eye on are knuckleballer Steven Wright and reliever Tyler Thornburg.
Both have been making solid progress, though there's no firm date on when they will re-join the Red Sox.
Wright underwent a cartilage restoration procedure on his left knee 11 months ago.
"With Steven, he pitched [extended Spring Training], I want to say two days ago," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said.
