Mets' Wright out extended period, source says

NEW YORK -- Mets third baseman David Wright is headed to the disabled list with a herniated disk in his neck and is expected to have a prolonged absence, a source said.

Wright tried oral anti-inflammatory medication and then received an injection in his neck in the past week, but neither sufficiently alleviated the symptoms in order for him to return to the field.
