David Wright begins to get into swing

NEW YORK -- More than his three months after his shutdown following a Sept. 8 game, David Wright has resumed swinging a bat.

Wright told ESPNNewYork.com he has "started to swing a little and the volume should increase soon."

Wright, who turns 32 on Saturday, now expects to visit new Mets hitting coach Kevin Long in Phoenix in January.

The captain finished last season inactive because of "weak" and "stretched-out" ligaments that failed to hold his non-throwing shoulder in place.
