Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Wednesday that he expects David Wright (back) to return from the disabled list next Friday. Wright is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday with High-A St. Lucie. Mets manager Terry Collins had previously indicated that Wright would need 30-40 at-bats before being activated from the disabled list, but Alderson's comments suggest that he could be back with the Mets even sooner. The 28-year-old third baseman was batting just .226 with six homers and a .741 OPS over his first 172 plate appearances before going on the disabled list with a stress fracture in his back in mid-May.
