Report: David Wright unlikely to return before end of April

New York Mets third baseman David Wright is not close to a return.

Wright, who was diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement in February, has not thrown since his diagnosis, and is unlikely to do so for at least another two weeks. It means Wright is unlikely to return before the end of April, and will certainly miss Opening Day.

“Obviously, it will be disappointing,” Wright said, via Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. “But when I think about it, there’s nothing more that I could possibly to do get ready. It would be one thing if I could look back and say, ‘I regret doing this,’ or, ‘I regret not doing that.’ But that’s just not the case.”

Wright had season-ending surgery last June thanks to a herniated disc, and also has back problems that will never go away. It’s a legitimate question whether or not he’ll really ever be healthy and contributing at a high level again.
