Morning Briefing: Darvish Day at Citi Field - Mets Blog - ESPN New York



NEW YORK-- (7/4)-- David Wright is still sidelined.

Eight days after he last appeared in a game, the Mets said Friday that Wright will not start the series opener against the Texas Rangers.

Wright has been sidelined with a bruised left rotator cuff.

Terry Collins said Wright needs to go through a series of pregame baseball activities before convincing staff he can return. It was too wet pregame Friday to do so.

The Mets have decided to play shorthanded during Wright's absence rather than place him on the disabled list since doctors predicted a short-term absence.

In six starts at third base in Wright's absence, Eric Campbell has hit .400 (10-for-25) with two doubles, one RBI and nine strikeouts, although he also had a critical error in an eighth-inning meltdown by the Mets at Turner Field on Monday.

NEW YORK -- The Mets will begin wearing a patch honoring Frank Cashen on Friday. The patch, bearing the former GM's initials, has been placed on the right sleeve below a patch honoring the late Ralph Kiner.

Both patches will be worn for the remainder of the season.

Cashen died Monday at age 88. He served as Mets GM from 1980 through 1991.
