Wright will be limited to a maximum of 130 games this season, the NY Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
GM Sandy Alderson revealed that number in a wide-ranging interview with the paper. Wright, who is dealing with spinal stenosis, will require periodic rest to keep him fresh and available for the season. Keep this number in mind when determining where to draft Wright in your leagues.

Wright went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, two walks and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-2 victory over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Wright continues to swing a hot bat after finally having an opportunity for extended playing time during what has been an injury-saddled 2015 campaign. The veteran third baseman has now hit safely in 11 of his last 12 contests, with five multi-hit efforts over that span and nine overall in September. He also has amassed 12 RBI during the month and assuming continued good health, appears poised to make solid contributions to the Mets during the postseason.

Wright is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has seen a fairly frequent rate of days off in his time as a regular since returning from the DL, which isn't a surprise given his long-term injury concerns and a capable backup in Juan Uribe, who gets the start today.

Wright, who is in the lineup hitting fourth Saturday, will get the day off Sunday, Newsday's Marc Carig reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets have a pretty firm hold on the division lead, so veterans like Wright will be given strategic days off down the stretch. That said, Wright is expected to play the full series against the Marlins next week. Look for Juan Uribe to get the start at third base Sunday.

Wright went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 victory over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has performed well since his return from the disabled list, enjoying multi-hit outings in four of his last six games. Fantasy owners can expect occasional days off for Wright, but the Mets captain should otherwise continue providing strong numbers in September.
