David Wright, 3B NYM



News:

Mets 3B David Wright has been diagnosed with a lower back stress fracture and is headed for the disabled list, the Mets announced on Monday. He is expected to miss several weeks with the injury, though an official timetable has yet to be determined. Wright, who was held out of the Mets lineup last Thursday due to lingering back pain, had gone 1 for 9 over the weekend against Houston.



Analysis:

Wright was given two consecutive days off late last week in the hopes that he could recover from some lingering back pain. He declared himself ready to play over the weekend, but he was sent for a precautionary MRI. The results revealed the injury and now Wright is expected to miss significant time. He had been receiving back treatment since suffering a collision with Carlos Lee of the Astros on April 19. The problem had been clearly affecting him at the plate and now the severity of the diagnosis clearly indicates why. There was an indication that Wright might miss months with the injury, but that has yet to be determined. Manager Terry Collins told reporters on Monday that he is not sure exactly how he will fill the void at third base, but that he does not expect to use Daniel Murphy there. Willie Harris, Justin Turner and Chin-Lung Hu could be in the mix.

How fast do Reyes and Beltran get traded now that Wright will miss significant time?
