New York Mets third baseman David Wright, who hoped to gain clearance Friday to ramp up physical activity, instead was told by a team doctor to stay inactive for three more weeks.

"I was going there hoping that at least soon I could start baseball stuff," Wright said. "It doesn't look like that's going to be the case." Wright did not undergo any new X-rays or diagnostic tests at Friday's examination. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=6624475
