Source: Wright (knee) likely off ALDS roster

Entering the playoffs, Red Sox manager Alex Cora was enthused with the role knuckleballer Steven Wright could play, figuring he could be an “X” factor who could provide length and keep the Yankees off-balanced. But that plan was foiled before Friday’s 5-4 victory in Game 1 even started. Wright underwent an MRI on his surgically repaired left knee on Friday night and is likely to be removed from the Division Series roster, a source told MLB.com.
