Injured Pinkie Finger Keeps Wright Out of Lineup April 10, 2012, 5:16 pm David Wright was scratched from the Mets" lineup before they were set to face Washington on Tuesday because he sustained an injury to the pinkie finger on his right hand in the team's win over the Nationals on Monday. While the extent of Wright's injury was not known, he did not sound hopeful when he spoke with reporters before the game. He wore a heavy wrap on his hand and was to undergo an X-ray exam shortly before the game. Wright injured the finger while sliding into first base on a pick-off attempt in the third inning on Monday night. The veteran Ronny Cedeno was inserted into the lineup at third base in Wright's place. Wright has been an integral component of the Mets" hot start, which has featured wins in their first four games. He is hitting .583 with four runs batted in this season.
