NEW YORK (AP) o continue his rehab assignment Barry Bonds Jersey , but the New York Mets say it’s unlikely the third baseman will play in the majors anytime soon as he attempts an arduous comeback from back and shoulder injuries.Wright hasn’t appeared in a big league game since May 2016. He batted .188 (6 for 32) with a double, two RBIs and two walks in 10 games at Class A St. Lucie this month, seeing considerable time in the field.He was hoping to play a third day in a row Sunday but didn’t feel comfortable and was given a couple of days off, manager Mickey Callaway said Monday in Chicago.On a conference call Tuesday with reporters, Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said Wright frankly hasn’t hit some of the benchmarks the team established for his rehab stint. But the Mets’ captain will play a couple of games with Triple-A Las Vegas this week, as previously scheduled, to see how it goes.Wright’s 20-day rehab assignment expires Friday, and most minor league regular seasons are nearing an end this weekend.“The schedule, as I said, was quite aggressive. It’s also in line with having the 20 days available to us. So this move was really as much about just trying to keep to that schedule and have him have the opportunity to face some Triple-A level pitching here at the end of the window Madison Bumgarner Jersey ,” Ricco said. “We were really running out of a little bit of time there. But that was really more the impetus for the move than really any progress that we’ve seen.”When his rehab assignment is up, Wright could continue to work at the team’s complex in Florida — or join the Mets, remain on the 60-day disabled list and rehab with the major league medical staff, Ricco said.A seven-time All-Star, the 35-year-old Wright has maintained he wants to exhaust every attempt at a comeback. But if he’s going to return, he doesn’t want it to be just for ceremonial reasons — he wants to be able to contribute on the field.“We’ll have some more discussions both with him and with medical people as to what the next step is. I think it’s unrealistic to think that he would be activated anytime soon, based on what we’ve seen to this point,” Ricco said. “But we really have been taking it step by step and trying to give him every opportunity to get back. I know he’d like to — or, he’s working to — trying to get back to the big leagues. But at this point, it really is kind of a step-by-step thing and this was the next step on the schedule.”Wright is under contract through 2020. He is making $20 million this year and is owed $27 million over the next two seasons.Ricco also said power-hitting prospect Peter Alonso won’t be called up from Triple-A when rosters expand in September.Alonso was batting .277 with 33 homers and a minor league-leading 111 RBIs combined at Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas this season. The first baseman homered in the All-Star Futures Game last month in Washington.“He’s had an unbelievable season. He’s done everything we’ve asked Juan Marichal Jersey ,” Ricco said.Alonso’s agents, Adam Karon and Tripper Johnson, said in a statement “it is disheartening for Peter after producing an historically great season and exceeding every request from the Mets player development staff.“I’m sure it is equally disheartening for Mets fans who would enjoy watching and getting to know one of the more talented and entertaining players they’ve developed in years.”Ricco said there’s limited playing time available at first base in the majors right now because Wilmer Flores is already there, and the fourth-place Mets want to look at outfielder Jay Bruce and youngster Dominic Smith in that spot the rest of the way as well.“To have Pete come up and really just sit, when we looked at it, didn’t make a lot of sense,” Ricco said. “As much as we would love to reward him for the season that he had and the work he’s done, we think it’s more beneficial for him to get some rest and we’ll see what the fall plans for him will be.”Another consideration is clerical: Alonso is still exempt from the Rule 5 draft in December, so the Mets don’t need to put him on the 40-man roster to protect him this winter. Add him now, and that’s one fewer spot available for minor leaguers who do need to be on the 40-man roster to be protected.

EDTShareTweetShareShareDiamondbacks place 1B/3B Jake Lamb on the 10-Day Injury List, recall INF Ildemaro Vargas from AAA RenoJake Roth-USA TODAY SportsAs no big surprise, the Diamondbacks are expected to place corner infielder Jake Lamb on the 10-day injured list. Lamb had injured his left quad when running out an RBI double. Utility infielder Ildemaro Vargas is expected to be recalled from Reno to take Lamb’s spot on the 25-man roster. Vargas did not play in last night’s game for Reno, as expected, and despite being optioned to AAA to make room for Jon Duplantier on April 1st he is eligible to be recalled due to injury.The injury to Lamb is just another one in the long list of injuries that have plagued him throughout his MLB career. After trying to play through an injured shoulder, Lamb decided to get corrective surgery to repair a torn labrum and missed the final two months of the 2018 season. After getting off to a slow start at the plate in 2019, this injury certainly doesn’t help the team’s fortunes. Christian Walker will likely be the team’s primary option at 1B with Avila seeing a few games there while Lamb is on the shelf. Walker has gotten off to a blistering start at the plate with 3 HR in 6 games while barreling up pretty every hittable strike so far this season.
