SAN FRANCISCO — David Wright is back working out with the Mets, but he remains in limbo as he awaits clearance to rejoin the major league roster.
The Mets captain, whose minor league rehab assignment ended after 12 games spanning 19 days, took grounders Friday at AT&T Park and later met with team officials who spelled out improvements they want to see from Wright before he can end his two-year-plus stint on the disabled list.
In a bizarre twist, Wright revealed that even though he was cleared medically to play minor league games, he still needs permission from team doctors to play at the major league level.
