The Rangers released Wright on Tuesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright, who signed a minor-league deal with the Rangers in January, failed to win a spot with the big club out of spring training and had spent the entire season with Triple-A Round Rock. The 32-year-old lefty was sporting a 4.88 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over 31.1 innings, and with a promotion to the Rangers not imminent, the organization decided it was best to cut Wright loose and open up more opportunities in the Round Rock bullpen for younger options.

Wright signed a minor league contract with the Rangers on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.
EDGE Analysis
He has logged 307 innings in the majors, but spent all of 2016 with the Red Sox's Triple-A affiliate. His effectiveness, particularly his ability to miss bats, has been trending in the wrong direction in recent years, and it would not be surprising if he spent most of 2017 at Triple-A.

Wright agreed to a minor league deal with the Red Sox on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was released by Arizona toward the end of spring training, but he'll now latch onto his fourth team in the last year. The lefty figures to serve mainly as organizational depth in the bullpen and is unlikely to see much, if any, time with the big league club.

Wright was released by the Diamondbacks on Monday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old lefty signed a minor league contract with the Diamondbacks back in January but failed to make the 25-man roster this spring despite pitching well (2.16 ERA and eight strikeouts in 8.1 innings). Wright, who has a career 4.16 ERA across eight MLB seasons, will look to latch on with a new team.

Wright signed a minor league contract with the Diamondbacks on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old reliever pitched in 11 major league games last season with varying success (3.68 ERA and 1.23 WHIP overall). He will now join the Diamondbacks, but will do so on a minor league deal that likely indicates he'll begin the season at Triple-A. However, the veteran southpaw joins a contending team, and could eventually work his way to the majors if he performs well enough.

Wright was designated for assignment Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports. There should at least be a market for a previously successful left-handed specialist, so there's a good chance Wright finds a team for the second half of the season. He never did face a left-handed batter in his two appearances with Baltimore, which makes 2015's sample even less useful in evaluating his value.

Wright's (shoulder) rehab assignment will expire Sunday, at which point the Orioles will need to decide what they'll do with him, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports. Wright started his rehab assignment in mid-June, and it was extended through Sunday. The veteran struggled earlier in the season with the Orioles, but has a decent track record of success at the major league level. However, the club may decide against adding him to the bullpen, which would lead to his designation for assignment.

Wright (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports. Wright is scheduled to pitch one inning tomorrow as he works his way back from a trapezius strain. He was recently moved to the 60-day disabled list; however, he is now free to come back at any point as he's since exceeded the 60 day minimum. He will likely need to make a handful of appearances before being called back up to the big leagues.

Wright (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Sunday, Rich Dubroff of CSN Baltimore reports. The move opens up a roster spot for reliever Chaz Roe, who had his contract purchased from Triple-A Norfolk. Wright has been working out as extended spring training as he attempts to recover from the shoulder injury, but manager Buck Showalter said the reliever wasn't likely to be fully healthy much sooner than the minimum 60 days.

Wright (shoulder) threw another innings at extended spring training Friday, MASN Sports reports. Wright figures to head out on a minor league rehab assignment soon. He should need a few appearances before being activated. Early-June appears to be his most likely timeline at this point.
