David Wright's hopes of returning to the New York Mets this season are over.
The team said Monday the third baseman will have surgery on his right rotator cuff in New York on Tuesday.
Wright last played in the majors in May 2016 and had surgery the next month for a herniated disk in his neck. He cut short his comeback in the minors last week after experiencing pain in his throwing shoulder.
The 34-year-old captain began the season on the disabled list and spent the first few months in rehab.
Wright has three years and $47 million remaining on an eight-year, $138 million contract he signed in 2012.
