David Wright is done.

Too bad. But he had a great career.

New York Mets third baseman has been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, disrupting his rehab as he attempts to return from the disabled list, the team announced Saturday.

Wright has been on the disabled list since April 15 with a hamstring strain. He developed back pain earlier this month, which flared up again recently, the team said.

"He's still experiencing some lower-back tightness," assistant GM John Ricco said, according to ESPN.com. "It's at the point where we're going to stop the on-field stuff for a week, continue with a program of core strengthening and basically back-stabilization exercises. They hope that will alleviate what he's feeling.

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal column. Symptoms include "numbness, weakness, cramping, or pain in your arms or legs," according to the National Institues of Health. It is the same injury that forced former Mets and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Lenny Dykstra to retire. New York Giants running back David Wilson also retired after being diagnosed with stenosis.

2. Ouch. That's what kept Peyton and Eli Manning's brother out of football.

Cooper Manning was a hot WR prospect in high school, but was diagnosed with spinal stenosis upon his arrival at Ole Miss. Supposedly this is why Payless chose Tennessee over the family alma mater.
