The right-hander was 10-2 before the All-Star break and was named to his first career All-Star Game. On July 26, Clement was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of Carl Crawford during a game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He finished the year 13-6.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EQ7CUQKFPFFAHHUNWC2ZWGRDDE\">Clement made just 12 starts in 2006 before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. He officially retired in 2009.<\/p>\n<p id=\"KJZRX5K3KNBSBOYBEQQ6XB3OFA\">Wright spent his seven-year career with the Red Sox and bounced between a starter and reliever role. In 81 total games (44 starts), the knuckleballer went 24-16 with a 3.86 ERA. His lone All-Star appearance came in 2016 when he finished the first half with an American League-best 2.68 ERA. Wright also had three complete games during that stretch.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HECHAIBZUZBVXEY2C2SMPEM7LQ\">Before the 2016 All-Star Game, Wright was informed he wouldn\u2019t pitch unless the game went into extra innings.<\/p>\n<p id=\"UJUPMYIQJ5AVFDQD2WEVJMVDAY\">There were several former Red Sox players that made Kepner\u2019s list.
