NEW YORK -- Although David Wright has joined the Mets for the month of September, his return to the big leagues may take longer than expected. Mets assistant general manager John Ricco discussed the plan for Wright moving forward on Friday before the game against the Phillies.
On Wednesday, the Mets announced that Wright would take part in a simulated game on Saturday. The simulated game will likely be one of many in Wright's continuing rehab process. The organization looks at this as a creative solution for keeping Wright up with the team and progressing in his recovery now that the Minor League season has ended.
