2023 Fantasy Outlook
Pre-2022, Wright posted a 6.56 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over four MLB seasons, spanning 70 innings. After dominating Triple-A in 2021, Wright was given a chance to be Atlanta's fifth starter and he took advantage, starting 30 games and amassing a league-leading 21 wins across 180 innings in a breakthrough campaign. Wright cut way back on his slider, relying more on his curve and changeup with excellent results. Both secondary offerings improved, but his curve was especially effective, perhaps due to adding a couple mph. Wright's control improved dramatically, and he became an extreme groundball pitcher. He was a little lucky, as shown by a 3.58 FIP, 3.30 xFIP and 3.48 SIERA. Even so, his ERA estimators portend a solid fantasy starter. Maintaining a new skill level after such a steep improvement is a challenge, but even with some giveback, Wright appears to have developed into a solid mid-rotation starter. Read Past Outlooks

Bumpy spring debut
Wright gave up four runs on five hits over 2.2 innings in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
ANALYSIS
Seeing his first game action of the spring after recovering from a shoulder issue, Wright got taken deep by Brandon Lowe in the first inning and Yandy Diaz in the second, but per Mark Bowman of MLB.com the right-hander's fastball touched 95 mph and he felt fine afterward, which was more important than the actual results. Wright will make one more Grapefruit League start before working a simulated game against minor-leaguers after camp breaks, and if he avoids any setbacks he won't miss a turn in the rotation to begin the season, although his workload could be capped in his first start.

The last we saw of Wright he provided Atlanta with an effective outing following Dylan Lee in Game 4 of the World Series, limiting Houston to one run over 4.1 innings. The outing was a microcosm of Wright's time at the big-league level as he permitted eight baserunners while allowing a home run in the outing. Wright has spent the past three seasons on I-85 between Gwinnett and Atlanta, pitching effectively at Triple-A, but he has a 6.56 ERA with a 1.69 WHIP and 1.9 HR/9 rate in 70 innings of major-league work. The 2017 first-round pick is expected to compete for a spot at the end of the Atlanta rotation, but with one remaining option, could once again be stuck in traffic jams on I-85 multiple times in 2022.
