CHICAGO (AP) —  Carl Edwards Jr. off their roster for Tuesday night’s NL wild-card game against the Colorado Rockies.Edwards had a 5.14 ERA in 11 September appearances. He walked 12 in seven innings.Manager Joe Maddon said Edwards also is dealing with a forearm strain.“We wanted to be very careful right now Eugenio Suarez Jersey , and we thought if we did not push him right now, he would be available for the next series,” Maddon said.The Rockies had three catchers on their roster for the single-elimination game: Chris Iannetta, Drew Butera and Tony Wolters. They opted for 10 pitchers, including former Cubs closer Wade Davis, and 15 position players.“Some other clubs might have a few more tough decisions based on the, maybe some of the experience and tenure of their roster, but in our case, it was pretty straightforward http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-jose-peraza-jersey ,” Rockies manager Bud Black said.Reliever Pedro Strop, who has been out since Sept. 13 because of a hamstring injury, is one of 11 pitchers on Chicago’s roster for the game at Wrigley Field. Speedy outfielder Terrance Gore also is active.“I told them a couple days ago, the last two games I was telling them Sunday I wanted to be in. They said no, they were aiming for Thursday,” Strop said. “Yesterday, I told them, ‘You know what, there (won’t be) Thursday if we don’t get Tuesday. So let me go in. Let me be available. If you find a spot for me in the game Tucker Barnhart Jersey , put me in the game.'”Chicago and Colorado each dropped tiebreaker games for their respective division titles on Monday. The Cubs lost 3-1 to Milwaukee, and the Rockies fell 5-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. New York Mets third baseman David Wright will be activated to the 40-man roster Sept. 25 ahead of his long-awaited return to the lineup Sept. 29 during the team's final homestand.Anthony DiComo of MLB.com provided the updated timetable Thursday and passed along comments from the seven-time All-Star, who hasn't played in the major leagues since 2016 because of spinal stenosis along with enduring neck and shoulder injuries."It's truly been an honor to take the field with you, and serve as your captain," Wright told reporters about his teammates. "To the fans, words can't address my gratitude."Tina Cervasio of Fox 5 NY highlighted more of Wright's remarks:Tina Cervasio TinaCervasioLong emotional thank yous to those who have impacted #DavidWright and his #Mets career. FOX5DESK fox5ny X5HCABjVQ2The 35-year-old Virginia native hinted the late-season appearances could mark the end of his career, though he didn't answer directly when asked if he'll retire."Physically, the way I feel right now, and from what the docs told me http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-matt-harvey-jersey , there's not going to be any improvement,"he said. "So I don't see [playing full time again] as a possibility."Wright posted a .904 OPS with 18 home runs and 17 stolen bases across 112 games in 2013.His impact has steadily faded since then, however. His OPS dropped to .698 the following season before playing 38 and 37 games, respectively, over the next two years because of injuries. He missed all of 2017.After a few halted comeback attempts, he finally made it out for a rehab assignment in the Mets' minor league system last month. He struggled, posting a .171/.209/.195 triple-slash line with no homers across 41 at-bats in the minors.The Mets, who own a 66-78 record, will soon get eliminated from playoff contention. That provides additional incentive to give Wright a chance to play in the majors again in front of the home fans at Citi Field Scott Schebler Jersey , especially if retirement is his next step.It's unclear whether the two-time Gold Glove Award winner will be available for pinch-hitting or defensive-replacement duties during the three-game series against the Atlanta Braves, who are trying to lock down the NL East division title and a playoff berth, starting Sept. 25.The Mets then close out the regular season when they take on the Miami Marlins, with the middle contest of that three-game set scheduled as Wright's return to the starting lineup.
