Mets 3B David Wright has now been diagnosed with a tear in one of his abdominal muscles. He is currently wearing an ice cap over the injury. Wright will wait 48 hours for the cortisone shot to take effect, and then get back into baseball activities and be ready by Opening Day, which is the timetable he has set for himself.
But even Wright admits that that is only a tentative schedule. After all, Wright has torn his left rectus abdominis (an injury that was underdiagnosed for ten days), the same injury that ended in surgeries for Washington 3B Ryan Zimmerman and Baltimore RF Nick Markakis. Wright insists that his injury is less severe than those of the other two players.
Right now, the timetable for Wright's return is Opening Day. This news comes a day after manager Terry Collins blew a gasket (publicly) over the high number of injuries on his team after IF Ruben Tejada went down with a groin injury. Collins explained later that he was merely frustrated and was not blaming his players in any way for being injured.
