Wright (intercostal) hits off tee Saturday
David Wright - 3B - New York Mets
March 23, 2013 - 2:20 PM ET

David Wright (intercostal strain) hit off a tee for the first time since being injured at the World Baseball Classic.

Wright also fielded grounders at third base for the second-straight day. The Mets' captain is still hoping to be ready for Opening Day, but is running out of time with the season opener just eight days away. "I'm glad it's a goal," GM Sandy Alderson said. "Is it realistic? Yeah, I think it's realistic. I don't think there's any certainty, but it's realistic."
