"We're going to make sure that he's not overworked," Alderson told the paper. "So it's important for us to find somebody who can play 30 games or so at third base when he's not in there. But I think we have to be realistic, and not expect that he's going to be an absolute everyday [player] out there playing 150 or 155 games. That's not going to happen."

Anderson also said that Wright likely would sit against a right-handed pitcher with Neil Walker or Asdrubal Cabrera, both switch-hitters, shifting to third. Wilmer Flores also is an option.
