Fantasy Analysis
It sounded Saturday that Wright was going to sit out Sunday as well, but Wright showed up in good health and then proved it on the field. This shouldn't be a lingering issue, so start Wright with confidence heading into Week 8 (May 21-27). Wright is off to a blistering start and continues to be an elite Fantasy third baseman.

Clayton Kershaw outdueled Jake Westbrook with a six-hitter for his fourth career shutout, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers over the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 Saturday night.
With Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran moving on, David Wright is the only Met who remotely fits the description of Fantasy stud, and even he's not a slam dunk anymore. The Wright we saw last year was not the five-category stud of 2007 or even the knockoff version of 2010. He was a 28-year-old doing his best impression of a 38-year-old, hitting .226 over the first six weeks before missing the next nine with a stress fracture in his lower back. Even when he returned, all was not right with him. He hit a mediocre .272 with a mediocre .789 OPS in 243 at-bats to close out the season. Now, he has even greater injury concerns, having missed the majority of spring training with an abdominal tear -- the same injury that sidelined Ryan Zimmerman for 60 games last year. But unlike Zimmerman, Wright might be able to avoid surgery. He's only 29 and is one of several Mets who could benefit from the team's decision to move in the fences this offseason. His recent track record is discouraging -- both health- and performance-wise -- but considering he might actually not end up missing any time this season, he's worth selecting among the top five or six third basemen in Fantasy. After all, when at his best, he's a true five-category performer. (Updated 3/25/12)
