Over the past three seasons, the 2011 third-round pick has bounced back and forth between Triple-A and the major leagues. Wright has failed to take advantage of every opportunity with the Orioles. In 43 major-league appearances (21 starts), he is 6-9 with a 5.86 ERA. Wright went 3-5 with a 6.04 ERA in 12 games (nine starts) with the club in 2015. The following year, he earned a spot in the Opening Day rotation. However, Wright struggled mightily and lost his rotation spot by early June. Last season, he made 16 starts for Norfolk and pitched in 13 games for the Orioles. While his performance with the Tides was respectable, he once again struggled in the majors. Wright also spent some time on the disabled list in the middle of the year with right shoulder bursitis. It’s finally make or break time for Wright. He hasn’t found success at the top level. Now, he’s also out of minor league options. Several evaluators believe he could be a dominating set-up man, but, for now, he’s still a starter.
