The Cubs have signed right-hander Kyle Wright to a minor-league deal.

Wright won 21 games for the 2022 Atlanta Braves and is the league's mot recent 20-game winner. However, he has pitched just 31 big-league innings since due to injury. The 30-year-old missed the 2024 season and made just eight minor-league appearances in the Royals' system in 2025.

Kyle Wright has elected to become a free agent on Friday. His decision came after he cleared waivers, having been removed from the Kansas City Royals' 40-man roster earlier in the week.

The right-hander is reportedly healthy now but faces an uncertain free-agent market. He did not pitch at all in 2024 while recovering from right shoulder surgery and was limited to only eight rehab starts in 2025 due to that recovery and a subsequent strained oblique.

The Royals have placed right-hander Kyle Wright on outright waivers.

After winning 21 games with the Braves in 2022, Wright pitched just 31 innings in 2023 before undergoing major shoulder surgery that, combined with an oblique injury in 2025, has cost him the last two full seasons. The 30-year-old is likely to find a suitor in search of a bounce-back campaign at a cheap rate.

Kyle Wright was pulled from a start with Triple-A Omaha after feeling tightness in his side.

Wright is expected to be shut down and re-evaluated in two weeks. He'll target a return in the latter half of July.
