Wright received a PRP injection Saturday and will rest a few days before he begins throwing, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Terry Collins explained how the PRP injection was always a planned part of Wright's rehab, expected to happen right before he began his throwing program. He is still recovering from neck surgery last June, and hopes this will help him overcome the last hurdle in his return to playing. Even if he begins throwing this shortly, it will be a slow and unsure return for the veteran.

Manager Terry Collins left open the possibility Tuesday that Wright could take ground balls at first base during spring training, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Wright is still recovering from neck surgery that he underwent last June, the 34-year-old expects to be ready to be New York's Opening Day third baseman. Despite being a two-time Gold Glove winner, the Mets' captain has posted a negative-8 defensive runs saved in each of his past two seasons, leaving the door open for an eventual position change. However, the third base position appears to remain his to lose at this point.

Wright (neck) took batting practice Monday and is expected to begin throwing sometime this week, Kristie Ackert of New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's more positive news on the recovery front for Wright, who has been slowly working his way back from neck surgery last June. Manager Terry Collins says the club will continue to exercise caution with the 34-year-old as spring training begins. Meanwhile, Jose Reyes and Wilmer Flores, both of whom filled in admirably at third last season, loom as potential replacements.

Wright (neck) took part in a limited workout Monday at the Mets' spring training complex, The NY Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although he's been working with physical trainers during the winter, this was Wright's first on-field activity since last year's surgery to repair a herniated disc in his neck. The 34-year-old has played in just 75 games over the last two seasons due to neck and spinal issues, and while the Mets would love to get back some version of the player who hit .307 with 18 home runs in 2013, their acquisition of infield depth over the last year, including Jose Reyes, would suggest they aren't counting on Wright to return to form. Unless he puts together a dynamic spring, consider him only as a late-round dart in very deep fantasy leagues.

Wright (neck) has begun simulating baseball activities, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reports.

EDGE Analysis

This essentially means Wright is doing the baseball-related movements without being on the field. The hope is that he can actually get out on the dirt before the end of December. This is a unique situation, as Wright's injuries over the past couple years are serious and somewhat unprecedented. For now he profiles as the Opening Day third baseman, but a lot could change between now and then. Jose Reyes and Wilmer Flores linger as replacement options.

Wright (neck) is expected to begin baseball activities by the end of December, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright missed the bulk of the past two seasons due to injury woes, but it appears that the veteran is on track to get back on the diamond relatively soon even after undergoing a cervical discectomy and fusion surgery in June. No specific timetable exists for his return, but general manager Sandy Alderson was adamant that Wright will be their starting third baseman, so it seems like the Mets are confident that he should be recovered and ready to go in the not-too-distant future.

Wright (neck) believes he will be ready to go for spring training, James Wagner of the New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright underwent a cervical disectomy and fusion surgery in June that left his status for 2016 in doubt. He was eventually moved to the 60-day DL and missed the remainder of the season but the veteran appears confident he will return to the diamond for the start of next year. Wright has played just 75 games combined between 2015 and 2016, making him a risky bet in fantasy leagues even if he's a go to begin the campaign

Wright (neck) will be moved to the 60-day DL on Tuesday, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jose Reyes set to return to the Mets on Tuesday, the move to the 60-day DL will free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Wright remains without a firm return timeline, and it's possible he could miss the entirety of the remainder of the 2016 season after undergoing neck surgery back in mid-June.

Wright (neck) is unsure if he can return this season, James Wagner of the New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Two weeks after cervical disectomy and fusion surgery, Wright is saying that he is unsure if he will be able to return in 2016. The 33-year-old also has a condition called spinal stenosis, which narrows the spine and causes pain, weakness, and numbness, that could further delay his recovery time. The third baseman is still a ways away from resuming baseball activities and a return to the majors this season appears highly questionable.

Wright (neck) underwent a successful cervical disectomy and fusion surgery Thursday and no timetable for his return has been released, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright met with team doctors earlier in the week to discuss the course of action regarding his neck injury and ultimately they decided to have him undergo a surgical procedure. The surgery was successful, but the remainder of his season remains in doubt as there is no timetable for his return. Barring a move at the trade deadline, the Mets will likely use a combination of Wilmer Flores, Kelly Johnson, and Matt Reynolds at the hot corner with Wright sidelined.
