Mets captain David Wright is a question mark for Opening Day after having yet another physical setback.
Wright has been diagnosed with an impingement after experiencing soreness in his right shoulder, general manager Sandy Alderson said Tuesday morning.
Alderson said there is no structural damage. Wright is headed back to New York for further testing. The 34-year-old has a chronic back condition known as spinal stenosis and underwent neck surgery last year to repair a herniated disk.
Wright has been shut down from his throwing program — which he had been conducting in relative secrecy. When he returns to the Mets’ spring base in Port St. Lucie, Wright will be permitted to DH in exhibition games. But considering his inability to throw, when he will be able to play the field, if ever, remains a mystery.
