Does wright have the bone density of a 90 year old? Last year's injury didn't look like enough to break anything, and neither did that dive back to first...
No timetable on how long he'll be out. Won't require surgery but will be splinted. Fracture is in the middle joint of his right pinky.
Statement said finger would be splinted and re-evaluated tomorrow. Also said Wright "can return to baseball activity as tolerated."
With the way the Mets have been overly cautious with injuries, you'd think he'd have been DL'ed already. If they don't DL him after tomorrow's evaluation, one might think it's not that serious.
It's the middle of the pinky. If it was the bone near his palm he would've most likely needed a cast.

Since it will be for a few games, any chance Murphy plays 3rd and Turner plays 2nd. I know the Mets want Murphy to get comfortable at 2nd, but since it will be for multiple games, I would like to give the Mets the best chance to win those games.
Team must have some type of info that's allowing TC to say stuff like this. If they thought it was serious, I highly doubt TC would be mentioning Friday in any sentence with Wright in it.
Of course his finger could fall off and force him into retirement...but the vibe I get is that this thing isn't a big deal.

Oh, and TC implied that Ronny Cedeno would likely see the majority of the time initially, and he wouldn't rule out moving Murphy there if it was long-term, which makes 0 sense in light of the fact that Murph couldn't move off 2nd for ONE EFFING GAME tonight because he needs REPS!
