Mets GM Comments on Wright's Status

"We'll just have to see what happens over the next 24 hours," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said on Saturday, per Rubin"It's bothering him. I don't want to get into it at this point, until we have more concrete information." 


Wright Struggling to Shake Injury Bug

Wright's back flared up on him on May 17, but the seemingly minor injury was a cause for concern after he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal column, last summer. 

Through 37 appearances this season, the veteran hot corner patrolman is batting .226 with seven home runs, 14 RBI and a .350 on-base percentage. 

The 33-year-old is a far cry from the player who nabbed seven All-Star appearances between 2006 and 2013, but he's still the heart and soul of the defending National League champions.
