Breaking – Wright Suffers Stress Fracture: Surgery Unlikely, DL Possible

Personal thoughts: The Mets are also seeking a second opinion, but it sounds to me like a 15-day trip to the DL is likely for Wright. With the mediocre way he’s played so far this season, I don’t think this is the worst thing in the world. Hopefully he can come back hot. Sandy Alderson …
