LOS ANGELES — The Mets’ air of secrecy continues regarding David Wright potentially playing this season, but don’t count on it happening Friday, when the team returns to Citi Field.
Manager Mickey Callaway on Monday indicated the latest plan calls for Wright to play in simulated games when the Mets return from this road trip Friday. Last weekend, Wright was told by team officials he still has hurdles to clear before playing in his first major league game since May 27, 2016.
The 35-year-old Wright took grounders at Dodger Stadium on Monday. Last week he concluded a 12-game minor league rehab assignment that included stops at Single-A St.
