David Wright and Mets COO Jeff Wilpon met regarding a plan for the third baseman’s future and according to a source, the two sides are expected to have a press conference Thursday.

And signs are pointing to them announcing he will return this season.

The third baseman has made it clear he wants to play again this year, despite not having appeared in a major league game since May 27, 2016, due to a myriad of injuries. While the Mets have publicly questioned Wright’s physical readiness to play while he remains on the disabled list, it is believed they would not prevent him from being activated — especially since they are planning a joint press conference.

Both Wilpon and Wright were involved in Wednesday’s ceremony honoring longtime PR exec Jay Horwitz, but neither discussed the next step for Wright, who played in his second simulated game on Tuesday.

Wilpon acknowledged having a discussion with Wright but declined to divulge what resolution — if any — they came to.

The 35-year-old Wright is running out of time to get back on the field this season, as he attempts to return from a chronic back condition, as well as surgeries to his neck and shoulder.

One of the issues is insurance. Since the Mets took out insurance on his eight-year, $138 million deal, the policy covers 75 percent of his salary.

But if he is activated from the disabled list, the Mets will have to pay him for however long he plays — which could be more than $2 million.

Wright hit and played the field in a simulated game at Citi Field on Saturday but was limited to little more than batting practice on Tuesday due to inclement weather.

He had a 12-game minor league rehab assignment that included stops at Single-A St. Lucie and Triple-A Las Vegas. The dozen-game stint didn’t do much to help Wright’s cause, as he went just 7-for-41 with a double and 10 strikeouts.

Still, with the Mets playing out the string of a disappointing season, they could put both Wright and Jose Reyes in the lineup as a possible farewell for the two veteran players.

Though Wright played in the minors, he would still have to be medically cleared to play in major league games before potentially being activated.

On Wednesday, Wright talked about being drafted by the Mets with the 38th overall pick in 2001. He made his MLB debut in 2004 and was named an All-Star seven times.

But the latter part of his career has been derailed by injuries. Wright has battled spinal stenosis and endured the neck and shoulder surgeries.

Wright hasn’t played more than 38 games in a regular season since 2014 and hasn’t hit 20 homers since 2012.

But he has said repeatedly that his goal is to get back on the field.

“I certainly have been challenged, and I want to attain that goal and I want to beat that challenge,” Wright said two weeks ago in San Francisco.

Among Wright’s reasons for continuing in his attempt is a desire to play in front of his family.

“I have got two young daughters who have never seen me play, so it would mean a lot to me to have them there,” Wright said. “[A return] would certainly mean a lot for the Mets fans. Anywhere I go … the amount of support and love that has been shown has been overwhelming.”
