NEW YORK (AP) — David Wright is moving up to Triple-A to continue his rehab assignment http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-al-kaline-jersey , but the New York Mets say it’s unlikely the third baseman will play in the majors anytime soon as he attempts an arduous comeback from back and shoulder injuries.Wright hasn’t appeared in a big league game since May 2016. He batted .188 (6 for 32) with a double, two RBIs and two walks in 10 games at Class A St. Lucie this month, seeing considerable time in the field.He was hoping to play a third day in a row Sunday but didn’t feel comfortable and was given a couple of days off, manager Mickey Callaway said Monday in Chicago.On a conference call Tuesday with reporters, Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said Wright frankly hasn’t hit some of the benchmarks the team established for his rehab stint. But the Mets’ captain will play a couple of games with Triple-A Las Vegas this week, as previously scheduled, to see how it goes.Wright’s 20-day rehab assignment expires Friday, and most minor league regular seasons are nearing an end this weekend.“The schedule, as I said, was quite aggressive. It’s also in line with having the 20 days available to us. So this move was really as much about just trying to keep to that schedule and have him have the opportunity to face some Triple-A level pitching here at the end of the window,” Ricco said. “We were really running out of a little bit of time there. But that was really more the impetus for the move than really any progress that we’ve seen.”When his rehab assignment is up, Wright could continue to work at the team’s complex in Florida — or join the Mets, remain on the 60-day disabled list and rehab with the major league medical staff Lance Parrish Jersey , Ricco said.A seven-time All-Star, the 35-year-old Wright has maintained he wants to exhaust every attempt at a comeback. But if he’s going to return, he doesn’t want it to be just for ceremonial reasons — he wants to be able to contribute on the field.“We’ll have some more discussions both with him and with medical people as to what the next step is. I think it’s unrealistic to think that he would be activated anytime soon, based on what we’ve seen to this point,” Ricco said. “But we really have been taking it step by step and trying to give him every opportunity to get back. I know he’d like to — or, he’s working to — trying to get back to the big leagues. But at this point, it really is kind of a step-by-step thing and this was the next step on the schedule.”Wright is under contract through 2020. He is making $20 million this year and is owed $27 million over the next two seasons.Ricco also said power-hitting prospect Peter Alonso won’t be called up from Triple-A when rosters expand in September.Alonso was batting .277 with 33 homers and a minor league-leading 111 RBIs combined at Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas this season. The first baseman homered in the All-Star Futures Game last month in Washington.“He’s had an unbelievable season. He’s done everything we’ve asked,” Ricco said.Alonso’s agents, Adam Karon and Tripper Johnson, said in a statement “it is disheartening for Peter after producing an historically great season and exceeding every request from the Mets player development staff.“I’m sure it is equally disheartening for Mets fans who would enjoy watching and getting to know one of the more talented and entertaining players they’ve developed in years.”Ricco said there’s limited playing time available at first base in the majors right now because Wilmer Flores is already there, and the fourth-place Mets want to look at outfielder Jay Bruce and youngster Dominic Smith in that spot the rest of the way as well.“To have Pete come up and really just sit, when we looked at it, didn’t make a lot of sense http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-omar-infante-jersey ,” Ricco said. “As much as we would love to reward him for the season that he had and the work he’s done, we think it’s more beneficial for him to get some rest and we’ll see what the fall plans for him will be.”Another consideration is clerical: Alonso is still exempt from the Rule 5 draft in December, so the Mets don’t need to put him on the 40-man roster to protect him this winter. Add him now, and that’s one fewer spot available for minor leaguers who do need to be on the 40-man roster to be protected. Adam Glanzman/Getty ImagesThe Arizona Diamondbacks have reportedly acquired third baseman Eduardo Escobar from the Minnesota Twins ahead of Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline.Jon Heyman of Fancred reported Friday the two teams had reached an agreement on a trade. According to Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan, Minnesota will receive minor-leaguersJhoan Duran (right-handed pitcher), Ernie De La Trinidad (outfielder) and Gabriel Maciel (outfielder) in return.The 29-year-old infielder is making $4.85 million in 2018 and is in the final year of his contract, perSpotrac.Escobar is having the best season of his career, hitting .274/.338/.514 with 15 home runs, an MLB-leading 37 doubles, three triples and 63 RBI. He has already set a career-high in doubles in just 97 games, and he is approaching career-highs in home runs (21) and RBI (73), both of which he set last year.The switch-hitter has done most of his damage this season fromthe left sideof the plate, hitting .282 with 13 home runs and 30 doubles against right-handers.Adding Escobar gives Arizona some versatility to work with. He has made appearance at second http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-travis-wood-jersey , third and shortstop this season, spending the majority of his time at the hot corner. Not only that, but he also hashit everywherebut the leadoff spot and seventh in 2018, although he typically finds himself right in the middle of the order.Arizona third baseman Jake Lamb (.222 average with six home runs and 31 RBI in 56 games) has struggled after making his first All-Star team a season ago, and hereinjuredhis shoulder on Thursday. Overall, Arizonathird basemen鈥攍ed by Lamb鈥攔ank29th in average (.219) while the shortstopsrank26th in the majors in average (.235).In other words, Escobar's bat will provide a nice upgrade to the left side of the infield.At 56-48, the Diamondbacks trail the Los Angeles Dodgers by just 1.5 games in the National League West and are just a half-game back of the Atlanta Braves for the second wild-card spot. If Escobar does indeed head to the desert, that's one less hole in the Arizona lineup, giving the team a better shot at making a playoff run.
