| As the Pirates continue to debate their needs and formation of the major league roster, the pitching group remains in flux, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. As a result, Jaret Wright , attempting to earn a job in the bullpen, was asked and agreed to extend his escape-clause deadline to Thursday. Wright had to be placed on the 25-man roster by yesterday or he could become a free agent without the extension. "They asked me to move (the deadline)," Wright said. "What else was I going to do? It'd be nice to know sooner, but they said they wouldn't know for sure today." Meanwhile, Elmer Dessens and Casey Fossum, fellow bullpen candidates, were assigned to minor league camp. |

| The Pirates signed Jaret Wright to a minor-league deal Wednesday. Wright will earn $800,000 if he makes the 25-man roster, with a possible $1.75 million more in bonuses based on relief appearances and games finished, or $1 million in bonuses based on starts, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. A shoulder injury limited Wright to three starts for Baltimore last season. He didn't have surgery and is expected to participate fully in spring training. |

| Jaret Wright tossed his third bullpen session of the week on Friday. It appears that he's close to beginning a rehab assignment and hopes to return to action when rosters expand next month, according to the Baltimore Sun. "Right now, in my mind, I think everything will work out, but I always think that," he said. A sore shoulder has limited Wright to just three starts this season. He'll have to prove himself on a rehab stint before being activated, at which point he might end up working in relief. |

| Orioles pitcher Jaret Wright, who has missed most of the season with a bum shoulder, wants to return next month. The Baltimore Sun reports he threw off a mound three times last week and will throw two more times this week before the Orioles decide on his future. Wright may very well end up in the bullpen. Fantasy owners shouldn’t plan on adding him even if he returns to the majors.

| The father of Jaret Wright told a Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter that his son's career might be over due to his latest shoulder problems. However, the Orioles weren't under the same impression, according to the Baltimore Sun. "Our thought process was we would see him again at some point this year," O's VP Jim Duquette said. "We weren't thinking this injury was season-ending. That's not what was relayed to us by the doctors." At some point, Wright's expected to return to Baltimore to check in with the club, at which point the O's might have an update. For now, Wright remains out indefinitely due to his shoulder injury. |

|
| Jaret Wright labored through three mediocre innings before leaving with more shoulder discomfort Sunday, the Baltimore Sun reports. The Orioles seem resigned to the fact that he'll be out of the rotation indefinitely. Wright's fastball was topping out in the high 80s Sunday. "It doesn't feel too good," Wright said. "I tried to get through it. It just hurts, basically. We'll see what happens (Monday)." |

|
|
| Jaret Wright is expected to come off the disabled list Sunday and start against the Indians, according to the AP. He tested his sore shoulder by pitching into the fifth inning in a rehab start Tuesday at Single-A Frederick, then threw on the side Thursday and reported no problems. |

| Jaret Wright returned to Camden Yards Wednesday and said that he's on track to be activated from the disabled list to make his scheduled Sunday start, according to the Orioles official site. Wright, who has had two prior surgeries on his pitching shoulder, made a rehab start with Single-A Frederick on Tuesday night and reported nothing out of the ordinary on Wednesday. A final decision on his status will come after he does some side throwing Thursday. |

|
| Jaret Wright tossed a 41-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday, his first action off a mound since leaving his April 10 start with tightness in his shoulder, according to the Baltimore Sun. "I felt OK," said Wright. "It was the first time on the mound. It's kind of like the first time playing catch. It's getting used to it again, but overall, I felt it was all right. I didn't feel anything throwing today that I did in that [April 10] game." He'll throw another session on Friday and hopes to return to action by the end of the month.

|
| Jaret Wright reported no problems with his shoulder after making 30 throws in the outfield on Saturday, according to the Baltimore Sun. "He wanted to throw more and we cut him off," manager Sam Perlozzo said. Wright is slated to do some more throwing today. |
|
|
|
| The Orioles are optimistic that Jaret Wright, who was placed on the DL Thursday with right shoulder soreness, will not be out for long, according to the Baltimore Sun. "The good thing about it is he feels a lot better than we expected," Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo said. "By the time we have him ticketed to start again, it won't be until [April 29]. That actually gives him some time to do some work on it there and possibly give him one or two rehab starts." |

|
| The Orioles placed Jaret Wright on the DL Thursday due to right shoulder soreness, according to the Baltimore Sun. Wright left his last start with the injury. It's unclear at this point how long he'll be out, but given that he has two shoulder surgeries on his record, this is obviously not good news for his owners. Brian Burress was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to replace Wright on the roster. |

|
| The Baltimore Sun reports that Jaret Wright was desponded after leaving last night's game with shoulder stiffness, acknowledging the pain is consistent with what he's felt in the past; Wright has undergone two shoulder surgeries before on the joint. "It's not something you want to have happen," he said. "I think I'm smart enough now and I've dealt with enough. I know if I kept going that I could probably really hurt it. So now I just wanted to give myself a chance to let the doctors work on it, and [head trainer Richie Bancells] and those guys to see what we can do. If it was routine, then I still would be out there throwing. It kept getting tighter. I just didn't want to keep pushing it like that." More should be known about his status after he's re-evaluated today. If Wright is sidelined for a while, top prospect Hayden Penn likely would join the rotation. |

|
| After working one inning in his spring debut to take it easy on his previously injured shoulder, Jaret Wright worked two innings yesterday, according to the Baltimore Sun.

The second inning I got more on top and felt a little bit better." |
