Wright was released by the Pirates on Thursday, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright has made 18 appearances and 12 starts with Triple-A Indianapolis this season. He posted a 6.68 ERA and 1.87 WHIP to go along with 70 strikeouts across 63.1 frames. Given that lack of success, it's not a huge surprise that the Pirates opted to look elsewhere within their system. Miguel Yajure (forearm) was reinstated from the injured list and took over Wright's rotation spot.
