David Wright will make his much-anticipated return to games at Citi Field later this month, a bright spot for fans as the New York Mets close a disappointing season — and the answer to the question of whether he’d ever return to the Mets period.
The team announced Thursday that Wright will be activated Sept. 25 and start at third base Sept. 29, the team’s final Sunday home game of the season. The Mets host the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins in the final two series of the year.
Wright, 35, hasn’t played since May 2016 and played only 75 games since 2015 while he dealt with back, shoulder and neck problems.
