The once-standout career of Mets third baseman and captain David Wright suffered still another blow on Monday when the Mets announced he would undergo surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder on Tuesday in New York.
The announcement of Wright’s latest physical setback capped another lengthy Mets medical update in which the team announced that four of its players would undergo surgery this week.
In addition to Wright, infielder T.J. Rivera will undergo Tommy John surgery in his right elbow, outfielder Michael Conforto will be operated on to repair a torn capsule in his left shoulder, and reliever Josh Edgin will have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
