Mets Morning News: David Wright to play in minor league game on Monday

Meet the Mets

David Wright is set to play in his first spring training game tomorrow—on the minor league side of camp. In possibly-related news, Wilmer Flores has playing a lot of third base thus far in spring training.

Kevin Plawecki hit a home run yesterday, but the Mets still aren't sure if they'll include him on the Opening Day roster. The Mets lost that spring training game, and relief pitcher Stolmy Pimentel was ejected from it.

With Asdrubal Cabrera sidelined and potentially headed for the disabled list to start the season, infielder Matt Reynolds has a shot to make the Mets' Opening Day roster.

Yesterday, Erik Goeddel pitched his first bullpen since he was sidelined by a lat injury early in spring training.
