David Wright has herniated disc in his neck
David Wright told reporters on Monday that he is dealing with a herniated disc in his neck.
Wright did not play in Monday’s 1-0 win over the White Sox — his third straight game missed. New York Mets manager Terry Collins even said that Wright may need a stint on the disabled list.
Wright has dealt with serious health issues the past two seasons. He was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and only played in 38 games last year. This season he has played in 37 games, though he has missed nine contests this month.
The 33-year-old third baseman is batting a career-worst .226 this season with eight doubles and seven home runs.
