New York Mets third baseman David Wright will be activated to the 40-man roster Sept. 25 ahead of his long-awaited return to the lineup Sept. 29 during the team's final homestand.
Anthony DiComo of MLB.com provided the updated timetable Thursday and passed along comments from the seven-time All-Star, who hasn't played in the major leagues since 2016 because of spinal stenosis along with endured neck and shoulder injuries.
"It's truly been an honor to take the field with you, and serve as your captain," Wright told reporters about his teammates.
