2024 Fantasy Outlook
Traded to Kansas City in November, Wright won't be a factor in 2024 after undergoing surgery to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder in October. It was a brutal 2023 for Wright prior to the injury as he made nine appearance, seven starts, throwing 31 innings with a 6.97 ERA and 1.84 WHIP while striking out 34 batters. In dynasty leagues Wright could be worth a cheap flier after he broke out in 2022 with a 3.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 8.68 K/9 across 30 starts and 180.1 innings, but it could've also been a career year for the right-hander.

Placed on 60-day IL
The Royals placed Wright (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Wright is set to miss the entire 2024 campaign after undergoing shoulder surgery in October, so it was only a matter of time before he landed on the IL. Wright's spot on the 40-man roster will be given to John Schreiber, who was acquired from the Red Sox on Saturday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2018
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.
