Wright, 31, pitched in the majors from 2008-2013 with five teams. His career record is 10-18, including a 4.16 ERA and two career saves. Last season, he was a member of the Boston Red Sox and spent the entire season Boston’s AAA affiliate team, the Pawtucket Red Sox, appearing in 19 games before being released in July. His career has not gone well. He’s been given a chance by the Texas Rangers to turn things around and keep his career alive. No doubt, he’s going to give it his all.
Earlier this month, it was announced that left-handed relief pitcher Jake Diekman would be out for most of the 2017 season due to colon surgery.
