Orioles receive bad news on Wesley Wright's MRI
By Roch Kubatko
Orioles reliever Wesley Wright will be out four to six weeks after an MRI today revealed inflammation in his left shoulder.
Manager Buck Showalter delivered the news following the Orioles' 6-5 loss to the Yankees at Camden Yards.
Wright has made two appearances this season, allowing one run and two hits in 1 2/3 innings. He complained of sharp pain behind his shoulder after his most recent outing, alerting the club for the first time, and landed on the disabled list with a strained trapezius muscle.
Wright will head down to Sarasota to rest and begin rehabbing.
The Orioles signed Wright to a one-year, $1.7 million contract over the winter. They currently have two left-handers in their bullpen - closer Zach Britton and Brian Matusz.
The Orioles bullpen has been scored upon in all seven games this season, registering a 5.40 ERA.
