Wright (back) played all nine innings at third base for the first time this spring Tuesday, the NY Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright's back has been a non-issue since he returned to action on March 18. He will need to be given liberal rest, but as now, the team's estimate of 130-135 games this season for the Mets' Captain remains unchanged.

Wright (back) played third base on consecutive days for the first time this spring Sunday and Monday, the NY Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was a little stiff after playing Monday, so he likely will receive Tuesday off. His workload will be slowly increased, so that he plays seven innings next week and can handle a full game just before the regular season.

Wright (back) said on Saturday that he had no setbacks following his Grapefruit League debut Friday, the NY Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets will rest Wright periodically during Spring Training to make sure he is ready for the regular season. A goal of 130 games has been set, but that will depend on how Wright's back feels daily and how many preventive days off he receives.

Wright (back) went 2-for-3 with two singles and a run scored in his spring debut Friday. "It was a good test right out of the gate," Wright told MLB.com. "Maybe not ideal, but I'm glad that I passed. I probably felt like I was moving a lot faster than I was. I'm glad I could check that off the list. I got three at-bats, got a play at third, ran the bases, so it was a good day."

EDGE Analysis

The Mets have brought Wright along slowly in camp, and will limit his workload during the season (130 games maximum) in hopes of avoiding any extended absences. Wright will not play in any road games this spring, as the long bus rides can be bad for his back, but the plan is for him to play in eight home exhibitions and some more minor league games to prepare for Opening Day.

Wright (back) will make his Grapefruit League debut Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright has been playing in minor league games throughout the spring, and has reported feeling great. A Grapefruit debut Friday still leaves plenty of time for Wright to ramp up activities and be ready for Opening Day, but his lingering back issues could make him a risky pick in fantasy drafts.

Wright (back) will play in minor league games Tuesday and Thursday with a possibility of returning to Grapefruit league action afterward, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran third baseman appears to be gearing up to get ready for Opening Day, and as long as everything goes as planned, he should be ready. This timeline seems to point toward a Friday return date, but things should become clearer as the week goes along.

Wright (back) went 1-for-5 in a minor league game Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After the game, Wright said that the game went great. He plans to take live batting practice Tuesday, which could line him up to get back into the Mets lineup by Thursday of Friday as long as all goes well.

Wright (back) will play in a minor league game Monday, ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Wright is confident he'll be ready for Opening Day, it would be nice if he could get into some major league spring games next week following Monday's tune-up with the minor leaguers. Given Wright's history with back issues, he should be considered quite risky in fantasy drafts this year.

Wright said Monday that he's confident he'll be ready for Opening Day, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Wright remains at least a week away from returning to Grapefruit League action, he expressed optimism as he continues to build strength in his back. The veteran rested longer than normal this offseason and is 3-to-4 weeks behind where he would typically be at this point in the spring. He's been held out of spring games by design, with the goal of limiting the strain on his back until the at-bats truly begin to count. "I'm looking at it in the positive side where I'm a little late getting into games, but I'm getting some work in that I normally wouldn't be able to get in," Wright said.

Wright is scheduled to run the bases for the first time this spring Sunday and potentially play in a game around March 18, the NY Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets are proceeding cautiously with Wright this spring, having him check off all the items on the training staff's plan before he is allowed to appear in a game. Once he runs the bases Sunday, the next step will be quick cuts and sharp changes of direction. Wright, who will be limited to a maximum of 130 games this season due to spinal stenosis, will receive rest during the season to keep his back healthy.
