A look at David Wright's injury history since 2011

In late-April, 2011, David Wright injured himself attempting to make a diving tag at third base, though he remained in the game.

In post-game reports, he described the pain as being mostly in his hamstring.

He was later asked by the team to get an MRI. However, it quickly felt better with rest, after which he chose to avoid the disabled list and play through manageable pain...

Unfortunately, the pain returned and spread to his hips and lower back.
