Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Kyle Wright underwent surgery to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder on Wednesday, the team announced Friday afternoon. He is expected to miss the entire 2024 season.

Wright was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder sprain on Oct. 7, ruling the 28-year-old out for the Braves’ playoff run in the process.

As it turned out, the 104-win Braves lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS, getting knocked out of the postseason with a 3-1 loss in Game 4 on Thursday night.

Since making his major league debut in 2018, Wright has only recorded one full season on the mound.

The righty went 21-5 with a 3.19 ERA, 1.159 WHIP and 174 strikeouts across 180.1 innings in 2022, ultimately placing 10th in NL Cy Young voting. In all five of his other seasons combined, however, Wright is 3-11 with a 6.68 ERA, 1.733 WHIP and 93 strikeouts in 101.0 innings.

Injuries were rarely the reason Wright failed to rack up service time in the majors, as the No. 5 overall pick from the 2017 MLB Draft spent long stretches of 2019 and 2021 pitching for Triple-A Gwinnett.

Wright was 1-3 with a 6.97 ERA, 1.839 WHIP and a career-high 9.9 strikeouts per nine innings in his limited time with Atlanta in 2023. He was on the injured list from May 4 to Sept. 11 with a shoulder strain, and he made his final appearance on Sept. 28.

Wright is under contract with the Braves for another three years. He will be 31 years old when he becomes a free agent in 2027, assuming Atlanta keeps him that long.

Spencer Strider, Bryce Elder, and Max Fried are anticipated to return to the Braves’ starting rotation in 2024. Charlie Morton, 40, may also join the group if Atlanta’s front management takes up his $20 million option for next season.
