David Wright is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his right hamstring on Saturday.
Wright initially tweaked the hamstring on Wednesday then re-aggravated it in the 10th inning on Friday. It's looking increasingly likely that Wright may need a trip to the disabled list.

David Wright was removed from Friday's game against the Royals after apparently aggravating his hamstring injury.
Wright has been battling a tweaked right hamstring since Wednesday and it appears to have acted up on him. The Mets initially declared the injury just a cramp and something he could play through, but it's likely a bit more serious if he had to be removed from the game. No word yet on the potential timetable for his absence, but he could be looking at a stint on the disabled list.

David Wright (hamstring) expects to play Thursday.
Wright tweaked his right hamstring while running the bases in Wednesday night's loss to the Marlins, but it's something he feels like is manageable. "I feel like I can take it," said Wright. "It's just something that I'll play through. It's one or the other. You either need to not play or play, and I feel like I can play through this."
