The Mets placed Wright (neck) on the disabled list Friday and announced he will rest for 6-to-8 weeks before resuming baseball activities, Adam Rubin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported earlier Friday that Wright would be sidelined for at least a month, but the latest update -- which comes straight from the team -- all but rules him out for at least two months, as Wright will need to get back into playing shape once his neck injury has subsided. The best-case scenario has Wright returning to action sometime in early August, but it's certainly possible he could be out several weeks beyond that. The Mets will fill Wright's spot with the combination of Wilmer Flores, Ty Kelly, and Matt Reynolds for now, but it remains to be seen how things will shake out at the hot corner long term.
