David to sit until his rib is Wright

"David Wright's rib cage has officially become an issue in Mets camp.

A day after the Mets scratched Wright from their intrasquad scrimmage for precautionary reasons, manager Terry Collins yesterday said his third baseman will miss at least the team's first two Grapefruit League games, tonight and tomorrow. Wright also was inactive for yesterday's intrasquad scrimmage.

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Wright's left rib cage, which he "tweaked" earlier in the week during drills, was still hurting."
