NEW YORK -- His teammates en route to Chicago following Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Yankees, David Wright stayed back in New York City in preparation for a flight to California. Wright planned to meet Monday with back specialist Robert Watkins in Los Angeles, part of what he called "the blueprint for getting better." "This guy, from what I understand and what I've been told, is one of the best back doctors in the country," Wright said. Though a team official said the purpose of the visit is to receive a second opinion on the stress fracture in Wright's lower back, the third baseman classified it more as "part of the process in getting better." Since landing on the disabled list on Wednesday, Wright has done nothing but rest on the command of team doctors in New York City. The next step is to determine what he can do to heal, and when he can begin that process.
