New York Mets third baseman David Wright played in a game Tuesday for the first time since the five-RBI performance against Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic on March 12 that cemented his "Captain America" nickname. Wright, shuttling between Double-A and Triple-A games against St. Louis Cardinals farmhands, went 1-for-5 with a single as a designated hitter as he took a significant step toward being ready for Opening Day.
