Cespedes (quad) may be a candidate for the disabled list, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

Cespedes was held out of Sunday's lineup following an early exit Saturday, but may be a pinch-hit candidate in an emergency. It sounds like batting isn't overly problematic for Cespedes, as manager Terry Collins is already looking ahead to Wednesday, when the Mets will begin a stretch of five games in a row in AL ballparks. When that begins, the team can use Cespedes in the DH spot in hopes of him not overly exerting his ailing quadriceps muscle. In the meantime, the team will keep a close eye on the slugger, and if something seems off, the disabled list -- a possibility Collins had previously been dismissive of -- could be on the table.
