SAN DIEGO -- There werent any surprises on Tuesday when Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright got a second opinion on his balky right shoulder. But there also wasnt any guarantee that Wright will pitch again this season.Wright met with Los Angeles-based orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who confirmed the diagnosis of the Red Sox medical staff that the right-hander has inflammation in his throwing shoulder but no structural damage.Its definitely peace of mind more than anything, because having two doctors explain to you the same exact thing from looking at the same MRI, its definitely encouraging, Wright said. Now its just a matter of tolerating the pain and taking it day by day and not getting too far ahead of ourselves.Wright was cleared to resume throwing as a result of the confirmation, when the soreness in his shoulder subsides, according to Red Sox manager John Farrell. When that might be and whether Wright will make another start before the end of the season has not been determined.I dont have that answer yet, Farrell said.Wright was upbeat at the prospect of returning.If it happens, great, Wright said. Im not going to say yes and know that Im going to pitch, because I dont know. Hopefully, but you never know.Wright was slated to start Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. But he suggested last weekend that he had been pitching at about 50 percent in two starts since returning from the freak injury, which occurred when he dove back into second base and jammed his shoulder in a pinch-running appearance Aug. 7 at Dodger Stadium. Wright has allowed nine runs on 14 hits in 10 innings over his past two starts.According to Farrell, ElAttrache gave no indication that Wright did more damage to his shoulder by returning too soon.The fact is, theres no further injury, which again we were confident in the initial diagnosis that there wasnt anything structural that was going to hinder or prevent him from pitching or put him in a position where he was doing additional harm, Farrell said. Thats not denying hes still feeling the effects from that in the last two outings. Weve just got to let it quiet down.With Wright unable to pitch, Clay Buchholz returned to the rotation in his place Tuesday night.Before the injury, Wright was in the midst of his career-best season, even earning a spot on the American League All-Star team. In 24 starts, he is 13-6 with a 3.33 ERA.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- An entire nation rose to its feet on Day 8 of the 2012 Olympic Games in London as Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Jessica Ennis-Hill all won gold on what became known as Super Saturday. Now, it celebrates Wonderful Wednesday.It is still early days at the 2016 version of the quadrennial showpiece and, while some of the better-known British athletes have already slipped up, the team showed off its depth on Day 5 as its rising stars set Team GB on course to surpass the medal totals of the last two Games.Just days ago you could have asked ordinary sports fans which athletes they knew from diving and canoeing and Tom Daley would have likely been the only name coming back. Now, add Chris Mears, Jack Laugher and Joe Clarke. On Wednesday, they etched their names in Team GB folklore and became the new headliners.At the same stage in Beijing in 2008, Britain had seven medals. In London it was nine. And you dont need a historian to remind you the team has already beaten the gold medal return of one -- courtesy of Matthew Pinsent and Steve Redgrave in the coxless pairs -- from the debacle in Atlanta 20 years ago.Those waking up on Thursday morning in Britain will see Team GB are in a tie for 5th overall in the Rio medal table, and 9th when colours are factored in: three gold, three silver, six bronze.Athletes and spectators alike would have been forgiven for thinking the Games were back in Britain, as Wonderful Wednesday started wet and windy and rarely changed. Fans at outdoor venues may have had to show a bit of the famous British stiff upper lip, but it was all worthwhile as shooting, diving, canoeing, gymnastics and cycling all came to the fore.Its not hard to argue that rowing would also have joined the medal rush, in the mens quadruple sculls, if the poor weather hadnt postponed the action at Rios Lagoa neighbourhood for another day.Tour de France winner Chris Froome got the medal count going with bronze in the time trial and, while he would have fancied his chances of gold, he was happy with the same podium finish that he achieved in London.From the Pontal roads to shooting in Deodoro, where Steven Scott beat compatriot Tim Kneale to take the bronze in the double trap. After, the friends ended their temporary rivalry to hug in celebration and consolation.Justt 17 minutes later, at 3.dddddddddddd6 p.m. local time, Clarke battled his way to gold in the mens K1 canoeing. By 4.40 p.m. Sally Conway had taken bronze in the womens 70kg judo having narrowly missed out on a place in the gold medal match. Then came Britains biggest triumph with Laugher and Mears winning Britains first ever diving gold in the 3m synchronized springboard.As they sat assessing their triumph, news of success elsewhere reached them. The team is really strong out in Rio and the medals are fantastic, Laugher said. To be able to add to that is a dream come true.In the diving camp we have added to the medals Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow got [in the 10m synchronised diving on Monday] and there are a lot of good vibes in there. Its our most successful Olympics ever [in diving] and we have more individual events to come. There are hopefully more medals as well.Just 90 minutes later, Max Whitlock won Britains first individual mens all-around gymnastics medal since 1908; the one and only Games in which Great Britain topped the medal table.That Team GB have won more medals today makes it even better, Whitlock said. We are very strong, were such a big team, and hopefully we can go back to the village and everyone be proud of our achievements.It was a memorable day, one on which the team came alive.Credit must go to the sports and the individual athletes, British Olympic Association chief executive Bill Sweeney said. It was a pleasure to watch their performances and we are incredibly proud. We wont get carried away, but today has been a nice day for British sport.Thursday could bring more success with the start of track cycling, the sport in which Britain won seven golds, a silver and a bronze last time out. Other medal hopes include Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley in rowings double sculls, David Florence in the C2 canoeing, and Natalie Powell in the womens 78kg judo.There is womens individual all-around gymnastics, too, and gold potential in rugby sevens. Beyond that there is more reason for optimism with Andy Murray, canoe sprints and track and field holding high hopes.Now, whos up for Thantastic Thursday? Well work on the name... ' ' '
