Wright got his first at-bat since May 27, 2016. He will likely get a start and two at-bats on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
There is no plan for Wright to play on Sunday, so Saturday's game will be Wright's last game in the majors. Despite missing the last two years due to injury, he has been one of the most prolific hitters in Mets history.
David Wright participated in a simulated game at Citi Field on Saturday. On Saturday, Wright fielded questions from the media and reiterated his desire to return to baseball by the end of the season.

Mets captain David Wright experienced shoulder sourness, which halted his throwing program, and is unlikely to start opening day. The
Fantasy Impact
Wright has played in 75 games the last two seasons and it seems that injuries will stall the rest of his career. Wright should be off the fantasy radar until he can show consistency in just getting on the field. Avoid Wright until further notice.
David Wright threw for the second time since neck surgery last June. Wright has played a total of only 75 games the past two seasons, limited by spinal stenosis and surgery to correct a herniated disc in his neck. He had a .788 OPS for the Mets last season.
Fantasy Impact
The Mets insist Wright is their projected Opening Day third baseman, even though his bill of health may say differently. While his time as an MVP candidate may be over, he did have seven HR in 37 games last season and posted a .350 OBP. There is no reason to pick Wright in mixed leagues and he is a spotty pick even in NL-only leagues.
