Steven Wright named Friday starter

Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright will start the opener of the final series of the season Friday when the Yankees come to town, WEEI.com reports.

Wright was likely to earn the nod after the team shuffled the rotation Sunday, but the Red Sox made it official Tuesday. He owns a 3.38 ERA and 18:2 K:BB ratio in 16 innings over five relief outings.
