Wright will have rotator cuff surgery

NEW YORK — David Wright will have surgery on his right rotator cuff Tuesday, ending any hope of the star third baseman playing for the Mets this season.

The Mets announced Monday that the 34-year-old team captain would have the operation.

Wright last played in the majors in May 2016. He had surgery the following month for a herniated disk in his neck.

Wright was limited to 37 games last year. He cut short his comeback try in the minors last week after experiencing pain in his throwing shoulder. Wright began the season on the disabled list and spent the first few months in rehab.

“This guy is one of the best players in the game,” Mets manager Terry Collins said.

Wright has three years and $47 million remaining on an eight-year, $138 million deal he signed in 2012.

Wright is a seven-time AllStar, hitting .296 in his career with 242 home runs and 970 RBIs.

Wright’s career took a turn for the worse in the second week of the 2015 season. He was put on the 15-day disabled list on April 15, 2015, with a strained right hamstring. While rehabbing the following month, Wright suffered a back injury and was diagnosed with spinal stenosis.

The Mets also announced that All-Star outfielder Michael Conforto will undergo surgery in Los Angeles this week to repair a tear in the posterior capsule in his left shoulder. Infielder T.J. Rivera will require Tommy John operation on his right elbow this week as well. Lefty reliever Josh Edgin will be having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

Starter Noah Syndergaard (partially torn lat) will make his second rehab start Thursday for Class A Brooklyn.
