WFAN.com's Rich Coutinho had a chance to talk to Mets third baseman David Wright today in Port St. Lucie about his strained left rib-cage muscle, and the Amazins' slugger clarified the issue by calling the scaling back of his workouts merely precautionary.
Wright confirmed that the muscle is strained, but had today been a regular season game he would have been in the lineup. The five-time All-Star added that he didn't consider vetoing the decision of the Mets' medical staff to sit him, as it is so early in camp and you can't be too careful.
