David Wright received an injection to try to relieve a herniated disk in his neck:

Collins said the injection could take 48 to take effect. The Mets opted to keep Wright, who is batting .227 with seven homers and 14 RBI this season, on the active roster. If Wright doesn’t respond well to the medication, he might be headed to the disabled list.

Wright played in only 38 games last season as he rehabbed a back injury that flared up while he was coming back from a hamstring injury.

Wright was hitting the ball far but not too often, with 15 of his 31 hits going for extra bases. He also drew 26 walks to give him a healthy OBP. In other words, he was helping the team at the plate despite a low batting average. Given his injury history since 2011, however, it’s not clear how much more his body can take.
