David Wright (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A St. Lucie over the weekend.
St. Lucie's season ends on Sunday, but Wright won't be ready at that time. He'll presumably play in some simulated games after that until the Mets feel comfortable enough to activate him. Wright said Thursday that he'd be comfortable with not making it back this season, though he doesn't think that will be the case. "You don't want to go into the offseason with the uncertainty of an injury," he said. "And most importantly, I don't want this to affect me next year or the years to come. So I have to rehab this properly, be diligent with it, stay on top of it. And be honest with the rehab guys and the medical guys down in Florida, as I continue to make progress. But all signs are good. I haven't had a single setback yet."
