(Reuters) - New York Mets' third baseman David Wright has been sidelined indefinitely with a stress fracture in his back.
Wright sustained the injury on April 19, but continued to play with what he described as just discomfort. He underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed the extent of the injury.
"I was being counted on to help this team win games, now I'm not going to be able to do that for two weeks," Wright told the team's website (newyork.mets.mlb.com).
