Cespedes' balky right quadriceps muscle flared up Wednesday night, which is why he is out of Thursday's lineup, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

It was already assumed that he was getting a maintenance day for the quad that has ailed him for a while, but it now sounds like Cespedes could miss more than just Thursday's game with the issue. Alejandro De Aza is getting the start in left field with Juan Lagares in center field Thursday against lefty Tyler Anderson.
