Wright underwent surgery Tuesday to repair his right rotator cuff, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

General manager Sandy Alderson shed some light on Wright's status, telling Marc Carig of Newsday that he thinks the shoulder injury was the result of a long layoff while adding that he doesn't think the surgery will be a "significant deterrent" to Wright's rehab. Wright missed the entire season due to shoulder issues and he also has spinal stenosis, a chronic back issue which can cause weakness and numbness. The 34-year-old has played in just 75 games combined over the past three seasons and will need to show something next spring to even enter the conversation as a reserve-round flier in mixed leagues.
