Jupiter, Fla. — David Wright and the New York Mets hoped for a healthy start to spring training. No such luck.

Wright was told Tuesday not to throw for two weeks after an examination in New York showed an impingement in his right shoulder. The third baseman will be re-evaluated after two weeks.

The 34-year-old team captain is a seven-time All-Star, but he's been limited to 75 regular-season games during the past two years.

"He's having real trouble getting his arm extended on the throws," manager Terry Collins said at the Mets' camp in Port St. Lucie, Florida. "He just said, 'Look, I've got to do something to get rid of the pain.' It's certainly going to be difficult to say he's going to be ready opening day."

The Mets, coming off an injury-plagued year and aiming for their third straight playoff appearance, start the season April 3 at home against Atlanta.

Former All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes made 50 starts at third base last year in Wright's absence.

"Nobody told me anything, but I'm ready," Reyes said.

"It's very sad news to hear about Wright, what he's been through the last two years, 2 1/2 years," he said.

Wright was on the disabled list from April 15 to Aug. 24, 2015, when he strained his right hamstring and then developed spinal stenosis.

Last season, Wright was batting .226 with seven homers, 14 RBIs and 55 strikeouts in 137 at-bats through May 27 when he was sidelined by neck pain. He had season-ending surgery June 16 to repair a herniated disk.

"Doctors feel that it is in some ways related to the neck surgery and the fact that the muscles haven't essentially re-engaged, re-stimulated," general manager Sandy Alderson said.

Seth Lugo, who will start for Puerto Rico in its World Baseball Classic opener against Venezuela, went three shutout innings for the Mets in a 3-1 win over the Miami Marlins. He has now has thrown five scoreless frames in two spring starts.

Marlins closer A.J. Ramos gave up home runs to Travis d'Arnaud and T.J. Rivera in the second inning.
