MIAMI — David Wright is ready to give the comeback trail another try.
The Mets captain – who last appeared in a major league game in May 2016 – will begin a minor league rehab assignment Sunday, with five innings at third base for Single-A St. Lucie at Clearwater, the team announced.
Wright had been working out at the team’s minor league complex in Port St. Lucie for the last several weeks.
“I think a lot of people just want to get their eyes on him and see how the ball is coming off his bat, how he was moving around at third, how he was throwing the ball,” manager Mickey Callaway said Saturday.
