Mets fans anxiously anticipating the return of third baseman David Wright and catcher Travis d'Arnaud should not hold their breath. That is the advice given by MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, who passes along word from general manager Sandy Alderson that the two injured hitters are still "at least a week to 10 days away," if not longer.

In eight games before going down with a pulled hamstring, David Wright was hitting .333/.371/.424 with one home run over 35 plate appearances. His hamstring is fully healed, but the Mets' captain subsequently dealt with back soreness that has kept him on the disabled list.

d'Arnaud was swinging a similarly hot bat, hitting .317/.356/.537 with two home runs over 45 plate appearances, before fracturing his hand on a hit by pitch.

The Mets' offense has often been punchless in the weeks since Wright and d'Arnaud were sent to the disabled list, so their returns can not come too soon for Mets fans. While this may not seem like a positive update from Alderson, it still seems as if their respective rehabs are progressing and that we'll see them both in Queens before too long.
