PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Not a bad start.
New York Mets star David Wright got a hit and scored a run Monday night in his first minor league rehabilitation game since going on the disabled list in mid-April.
The 32-year-old third baseman went 1 for 3 and drew a walk as the designated hitter for Class A St. Lucie. He hadn’t played since being diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal column.
Wright ran from first to third on a single and scored on a groundout. His outs were routine — a fly to center and a pop to second — in an 8-4 loss to Fort Myers in the Florida State League.
