Wright signed a minor-league deal with the Reds, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
The 26-year-old righty will return to the organization that drafted him in the 10th round in 2013. He notched a 4.58 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 19.2 innings in the big leagues with the Angels last season. His 6.99 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 92.2 innings at Triple-A were even less impressive. He will likely spend most, if not all of 2018 at Triple-A.
Wright passed through waivers unclaimed and will remain with Triple-A Salt Lake.
Wright was designated for assignment by the Angels on Monday in order to free up a 40-man roster spot for Dayan Diaz. The right-hander hasn't pitched in the big leagues since June 15, and has posted a 7.14 ERA over 63 innings with Salt Lake during the past two months with the club. Although the Bees' season has already concluded, Wright will remain on their roster and stay within the organization for the rest of the season.
Wright was designated for assignment by the Angels on Monday.
Wright was dropped from the 40-man roster to open up a spot for Dayan Diaz, who was recently claimed off waivers from the Astros. The 26-year-old righty struggled between Triple-A Salt Lake and the big-leagues this season, compiling a 6.99 ERA and 61:35 K:BB in 92.2 innings (18 starts) with the Bees while posting a similarly unimpressive 4.98 ERA and 11:8 K:BB in 19.2 innings for the Angels. He'll head to waivers to determine his next destination.
Wright was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.
It was indeed another short stay for Wright, who has bounced back and forth between the minors and majors six times already this season. He was sent down to clear a spot for Saturday's starter, Tyler Skaggs, but Wright figures to be on the short list of candidates for recall the next time the Angels need a fresh arm.
