New York Mets third baseman David Wright is returning to the majors for the Mets' final homestand of 2018, saying he expects to be finished playing baseball after making one more start in the team's second-to-last game of the season.
Wright will be activated for the homestand beginning Sept. 25 and start at third base Sept. 29 against the Miami Marlins.
He said Thursday that he doesn't believe his body, which has required multiple surgeries on his shoulder, back and neck, will allow him to play again afterward.
The 35-year-old hasn't played for the Mets since May 27, 2016.
