Cespedes (hamstring) is expected to be activated Saturday prior to the Mets' doubleheader with the Braves, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

The Cuban slugger is expected to act as the 26th man for the doubleheader and appear in one of the two games. This is a great sign for Cespedes' health, as the Mets have been taking things very slowly with him since he aggravated the hamstring injury in late April. Things will be interesting once he returns in full, however, as Michael Conforto has played extremely well in his absence, which likely means Curtis Granderson would be moved into a bench role moving forward.
