Wright (back) will start at third base and bat second in the lineup Sunday at Kansas City, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets have advertised that Wright won't play more than 130-135 games in an attempt to keep his back as healthy as possible following a diagnosis of spinal stenosis. He'll look to build upon a .241/.290/.345 spring line in which he launched one home run in 29 at-bats.
