Red Sox's Steven Wright: Maintains spring scoreless streak
Wright allowed two hits and one walk while striking out three over 4.1 scoreless innings Thursday against the Pirates. He threw 62 pitches.
Analysis:
The Red Sox have to worry about David Price's elbow and Drew Pomeranz's triceps, but Wright's shoulder, the one that ended his 2016 season prematurely, has not been a problem. He remains as constant as ever and represents a stabilizing element in a rotation that faces some uncertainty. The knuckleballer has yet to give up a run over 9.1 spring innings, allowing just four baserunners.
