David Wright has been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, which varies in its severity. While doctors are hoping it can be alleviated with rest in David’s case, it has also been known to be more severe, as it caused Lenny Dykstra to end his career at the age of 35. Whatever the case may be, oh Captain our Captain will be out for a while longer, leaving the Mets weighing their options at third base.
When Wright went down with his initial hamstring injury, the Mets recalled utility player to play third base in his absence until he started slumping and was sent back to the minors.
