“It just got me in a spot that’s bothersome,” Wright said, via the New York Post. “It’s just unlucky.”
Wright, 31, has struggled with his bruised rotator cuff for much of the year. His stats show his struggles. He’s hitting .273 with eight home runs and 56 RBI — that’s not exactly studly for the seven-time All-Star, who is a career .299 hitter with 230 home runs, via the SI Wire. The Mets are in fourth place in the NL East at 59-66. They’ll need the 11 year veteran to continue their playoff race.
“It’s been fine,” Wright said. “I’ll see how it feels in the morning. As soon as I felt it hit that spot, it just [stinks] out of my whole back, it had to be that one area.”
Mets fans and the franchise surely share his perspective on the stray pitch. They’ll anxiously await his return.
