It sounds like David Wright had a nice send-off at Citi Field:
The team captain went 0-for-1 with a walk against the Marlins and was removed after two plate appearances as planned. On defense, he handled a one-hopper to third base with no problem.
Wright, who fouled out to first base his final time up, took his position before the top of the fifth inning. Mets manager Mickey Callaway then came out of the dugout to make a lineup change, and Wright began his slow walk off the field.
As he exited, Wright shook hands with third-base umpire Mike Winters, saluted and thumped his chest toward fans and hugged each of his teammates, who poured out of the dugout to salute the captain.
Fans stood and cheered Wright for about 3 minutes, 15 seconds.
Wright certainly made a great effort to try to return from his injuries. I suspect he’ll continue behind the scenes in the Mets organization for a while.
