Mets 3B Wright given shot for neck injury, avoids DL for now (Yahoo Sports)

David Wright avoided the disabled list Tuesday, at least for now. Hoping their ailing third baseman can return in a few days from a herniated disk in his neck, the New York Mets optioned utility player Eric Campbell to Triple-A Las Vegas when they needed to open a roster spot for new first baseman James Loney. Wright sat out his fourth straight game as the Mets took on the slumping Chicago White Sox.
