Wright takes full BP, eyes start of rehab games

MIAMI -- David Wright's timeline is starting to come into focus. Wright took full batting practice Tuesday in the first of five consecutive days of rigorous baseball workouts, his first such stretch since being diagnosed with spinal stenosis in May. If all goes well, Wright could debut in Minor League rehab games as soon as early next week.

"At this point, I just want to get in the lineup," Wright said. "I want to be part of the fun."
