Mets' Yoenis Cespedes: Could be out through weekend
Cespedes (leg) may be sidelined through at least the remainder of the Mets' weekend series with the Braves, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports. "The bruise is pretty big. He's aggravated it, and he's limping pretty bad. He's pretty swelled. He's certainly not going to be available [Saturday]," said manager Terry Collins.
Although Rubin is reporting that Cespedes does not have any further testing scheduled on his bruised leg, it is significant enough of an injury to potentially keep him out of the final two games of the Mets' series with the Braves. Cespedes aggravated a pre-existing leg bruise Friday on a slide into second base. Given Collins' comments, Cespedes could be sidelined Sunday in addition to Saturday, in which case Juan Lagares or Alejandro De Aza could take his spot in the outfield.
