Wright scratched from lineup with sore back
David Wright - 3B - New York Mets
March 14, 2013 - 7:00 PM ET

David Wright has been scratched from Team USA's lineup Thursday due to a sore back.

The injury doesn't sound like a big concern, as Wright was able to take batting practice before the game, but it's obviously a notable blow to USA's hopes in their attempt to knock off the Dominican Republic. Wright will be replaced at third base by the uninspiring Willie Bloomquist.
