Wright is scheduled to run the bases for the first time this spring Sunday and potentially play in a game around March 18, the NY Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets are proceeding cautiously with Wright this spring, having him check off all the items on the training staff's plan before he is allowed to appear in a game. Once he runs the bases Sunday, the next step will be quick cuts and sharp changes of direction. Wright, who will be limited to a maximum of 130 games this season due to spinal stenosis, will receive rest during the season to keep his back healthy.
