David Wright went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double and three runs scored in the Mets' 7-6 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

David Wright is out of Monday's lineup against the Marlins due to neck stiffness.
Mets manager Terry Collins is hopeful that it's only a day-to-day situation, but fantasy owners would be wise to have a backup plan at the ready. Justin Turner will fill in at third base for now.
