PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (WFAN) — The odds have been stacked against David Wright for some time now.
Spinal stenosis diagnosed in 2015 that limited him to 38 games. A discectomy, neck surgery, that allowed him to play in just 37 games last season. And on Tuesday morning, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson delivered news of the latest setback — Wright would be heading to New York and the Hospital for Special Surgery to have the shoulder soreness that has compromised his throwing program checked out.
“Basically it’s soreness in the rotator cuff, that results from instability in the shoulder,” Alderson said.
