Atlanta Braves high-rated stars to miss rest of MLB season due to dangerous injury that may lead to a career end

high-rated stars to miss rest of NFL season due to dangerous injury that may lead to a career end

After being left off the roster for the National League Division Series, it’s been reported that Atlanta Braves young ace Kyle Wright is actually on the 60-day injured list with a shoulder issue.

It initially seemed surprising when it was reported that the Atlanta Braves were going to leave young ace Kyle Wright off the postseason roster, but now we have some more clarity.

Per Kris Willis of SB Nation:

I missed this earlier, but Kyle Wright was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder strain today.

Braves News: Kyle Wright placed on 60 day IL will be out for entirety of the playoffs

He won’t be an option for the remainder of the postseason

That’s a tough break for both Wright and the Braves. Wright has been on the injured list now three times this year, unable to back up his breakout 2022 season that saw him win 21 games. The Braves won’t have access to a pitcher with great stuff, which is disappointing as the competition ramps up in the playoffs.

When he did pitch this year, Wright was largely ineffective. The 28-year-old was 1-3 in just nine games and pitched to a 6.97 ERA. That was a far cry from his 21-5 and 3.19 performance in 2022, when he helped lead the Braves to a National League East championship.

Here’s hoping that he’s healthy for spring training in 2024. If he is, and if he can revert back to his previous form, he could pair with Spencer Strider and Max Fried to make one of the best rotations in all of baseball.

The Braves and Phillies will battle in Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday night.

The first pitch from Truist Park is set for 6:07 p.m. ET as Strider pitches against lefty Ranger Suarez.
