The foot and knee are no longer the only physical problems for Steven Wright.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced Tuesday that Wright, who has been on the injured list since July 14 with a right toe contusion, is headed to Pensacola, Fla. to be looked at by Dr. James Andrews due a sore right elbow.
Wright has felt the discomfort in his elbow since May.
The knuckleballer made six appearances with the Red Sox before being hit with a line drive on his foot, allowing six runs on 11 hits over 6 1/3 innings.
In other injury news, Heath Hembree was scheduled to undergo a PRP injection on the outside of his right elbow Tuesday night. Hembree went on the injured list Friday due to continued discomfort in his elbow. Cora said he expects the reliever to return this season.
