The Mets announced on Monday morning that David Wright will have surgery to repair his right rotator cuff Tuesday in New York.
Wright's latest comeback attempt ended last Monday, when the Mets announced that shoulder pain has ended his minor league rehab assignment. Wright, 34, released a statement last Monday saying he had his shoulder checked by a doctor.
"After playing in a few games, I continued to have shoulder pain," Wright said. "So I decided to go to the doctor and get it checked out. Will make any decisions going forward after my appointment."
Wright's quest to return ended after three rehab games with Class-A Port St. Lucie. He went 1 for 10 and played two games at third, his first action in the field since May 2016. Wright has played only 75 major-league games since 2015.
Wright has dealt with spinal stenosis and the lingering impact of major neck surgery over the past few years.
