Wright (shoulder) is close to being cleared to throw off a mound, Grant McAuley of 92.9 FM The Game reports.
Wright has been sidelined for two months with a strained right shoulder but has been doing flat-ground throwing for the past month. He figures to need multiple bullpen sessions before facing hitters at least a couple times ahead of an eventual rehab assignment, so there's still plenty of work to be done. There's still no clear timeline for the right-hander to rejoin the Atlanta rotation.
