Cheers turned to groans as the Mets made some costly defensive mistakes and the offense came up empty on a few big chances in a 6-2 loss to the Reds.

A then-22-year-old Peterson was with the St. Lucie Mets, the franchise’s High-A affiliate at the time, when Wright — diagnosed with spinal stenosis in May 2015 and severely limited by injury for the final four years of his career — played 10 rehab games with the team.

Kicking off Wright’s big weekend at Citi Field, where the captain’s No. 5 will be retired and he’ll be inducted into the Mets’ Hall of Fame, Collins spoke to reporters on Friday. There, he revealed why he named Wright captain ahead of the 2013 season.

David Wright believes Juan Soto's decision to leave the Yankees for the New York Mets could redefine the future of baseball in the Big Apple.

Wright missed more than four months of the 2015 season, diagnosed with spinal stenosis, before he returned to the lineup in late August, with the Mets holding a healthy lead in the NL East. Collins recalled Wright telling him he didn’t expect to hit in the middle of the lineup when he came back or disturb the way they were performing.
