David Wright to undergo surgery to repair injured rotator cuff

Mets third baseman David Wright will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair his injured right rotator cuff, the team announced.

He played three games for Class-A St. Lucie in a rehab stint earlier in August as he looked to return from a shoulder impingement that has kept him out since Spring Training. After experiencing more pain in his shoulder, Wright terminated the rehab.

The 34-year-old has been limited to 75 games over the past three seasons. He missed 124 games in 2015 due to lumbar spinal stenosis -- a condition in his lower back that he will forever need to monitor.
