Analysis:
The Mets still don't believe Wright is dealing with a long-term issue, but they'll gather as much information as possible before laying out a treatment plan. While the former All-Star is out of commission, look for some combination of Ruben Tejada, Eric Campbell and Danny Muno to take over at third base, though GM Sandy Alderson hasn't ruled out looking for outside help.
