Mets infielder Justin Turner sprained his right ankle against during Saturday's loss to the Marlins.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Wright would rest for three to five days. Only time will tell whether the 30-year-old star is ready to begin the regular season on April 1, the GM said on Friday.
It appears from the way he pointed to the problematic area that the third baseman's complaints refer to his right side, and reports are that the issue is in Wright's back rather than his chest.
Instead of traveling to Port St. Lucie to be examined, Mets third baseman David Wright boarded a plane in Miami and flew to New York to be examined by team doctors. General manager Sandy Alderson made the announcement on Friday morning.
Wright said he was optimistic about playing again for Team USA. But Joe Torre ruled him out of Friday night's game and said Wright was doubtful beyond that.
Two of New York's brightest stars will take the stage on Thursday night when Team USA takes on the Dominican Republic at Marlins Park in Miami. We're talking about the Yankees' Robinson Cano and the Mets' David Wright, of course.
The Yankees and Mets are among teams that are interested in outfielder Brennan Boesch, according to CBSSports.com/WFAN insider Jon Heyman.
Valdespin has learned his lesson -- and it was a painful, painful lesson indeed.
It has already been an interesting week at Mets and Yankees camp. Who knows what the next few days will bring?
The Mets' star was locked in again. Wright drove in five runs, the last three with a bases-loaded double in the eighth. That prompted chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!" from the crowd of 32,872.
After tweeting "No body cant stop me (sic)," Valdespin was indeed stopped -- by a Justin Verlander fastball to the you-know-what. And he wasn't wearing a cup.
The team's top pitching prospect will have to wait to get his first taste of the big leagues.
Running out of outs, Adam Jones and the United States suddenly broke loose and saved themselves from a humbling loss. Now, thanks to a fast finish, they're heading to Miami for the next round of the World Baseball Classic.
