Wesley Wright: Released from minor-league deal
The Rangers released Wesley Wright on Tuesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.Wright, who signed a minor-league deal with the Rangers in January, failed to win a spot with the big club out of spring training and had spent the entire season with Triple-A Round Rock. The 32-year-old lefty was sporting a 4.88 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over 31.1 innings, and with a promotion to the Rangers not imminent, the organization decided it was best to cut Wright loose and open up more opportunities in the Round Rock bullpen for younger options.

Diamondbacks' Wesley Wright: Signs minors deal with Diamondbacks

He will now join the Diamondbacks, but will do so on a minor league deal that likely indicates he'll begin the season at Triple-A.
