Cespedes, who suffered a quad strain in Friday's game, is unlikely to return until after the All-Star break, The Star-Ledger's Maria Guardado reports.

Manager Terry Collins said he didn't expect Cespedes to play in the All-Star game, so it seems unlikely he'll play Saturday or Sunday. He hurt the quad going after a Daniel Murphy double in the third inning of Friday's game. Cespedes said he has dealt with a similar issue previously and only missed a handful of days in that instance, while also adding that he's hopeful he will be able to avoid a DL stint. It sounds like a major injury was avoided, but owners should be prepared to be without the star outfielder for the rest of the first half.
