Cespedes did not appear at Friday's optional workout and did not receive a cortisone injection on his injured shoulder, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

This injury has been baffling so far. Cespedes exited Game 4 of the NLCS in the second inning with left shoulder soreness and it was later reported the 30-year-old injured his shoulder while golfing the day before. That report was quickly shot down by Terry Collins, but it wasn't entirely explained how the Cuban slugger sustained the injury. Cespedes was then expected to receive a cortisone shot to numb the pain, but that apparently never happened. Even with everything that has happened (or not happened) this seems to be much much ado about nothing considering Cespedes should be ready to play in Game 1 of World Series. Still, stay tuned for more "information" regarding his availability in the days to come.
