David Wright (knee) is in Saturday's lineup against the Pirates.

Wright left Friday's game in the eighth inning with a minor knee injury, but it was strictly precautionary and he won't miss any time. The Mets are obviously no longer concerned about it. Wright is hitting .306 with 23 RBI and six steals through 32 games.

David Wright finished 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Mets' loss to the Braves on Sunday.

Wright hit a two-run shot off Tim Hudson in the top of the third inning. It was his third home run in as many games and he has raised his OPS from .892 to 1.001 since the start of May. He should be a force all year.

David Wright went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double and three runs scored in the Mets' 7-6 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

The homer was Wright's third of the year. Both of his previous bombs came in the first game of a doubleheader April 16 in Colorado. Still, while the homers have been in somewhat short supply, Wright is hitting .308 with 20 RBI and six steals through 26 games.

David Wright (neck) is in the Mets' lineup Tuesday.

Wright was limited to pinch-hitting duties in Monday's extra-innings loss to the Marlins because of a stiff neck. He will play through whatever discomfort remains.

David Wright is out of Monday's lineup against the Marlins due to neck stiffness.

Mets manager Terry Collins is hopeful that it's only a day-to-day situation, but fantasy owners would be wise to have a backup plan at the ready. Justin Turner will fill in at third base for now.

David Wright went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored Saturday in a loss to the Phillies.

It was his first multi-hit game since April 18. While Wright only has two homers thus far (both in the same game on April 16), he has made up for it by stealing six bases in seven attempts. He was just 15-for-25 in stolen base attempts last season.

David Wright hit his first two homers Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Rockies.

It was only a matter of time. Wright also singled in the contest. He's 7-for-13 with four extra-base hits and eight RBI in his last three games.

David Wright - 3B - Mets

David Wright went 3-for-5 with four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's win over the Twins.

Wright sparked a first inning rally with a two-run double, then collected an RBI double to kick off the scoring in the second. He later added an RBI triple in the seventh. While Wright is still looking for his first home run of the season, he owns a healthy .297/.422/.432 batting line and an .855 OPS through 10 games. The 30-year-old remains one of the most valuable fantasy options at third base.
