Symptoms include \"numbness, weakness, cramping, or pain in your arms or legs,\"&amp;nbsp;according to the National Institues of Health. Wright had developed back pain in May, disrupting his rehab from a hamstring injury.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 CORCORAN: Slumping Nats will need more than just Strasburg\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wright is currently in the third year of an eight-year, $138 million contract.
