Mets' Yoenis Cespedes: Should start rehab assignment over weekend
Manager Terry Collins said Wednesday that Cespedes (hamstring) would head out on on a rehab assignment "in the next couple days," Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Though Cespedes has been able to take some at-bats at extended spring training since being sidelined April 28 with the strained left hamstring, the Mets want to see how he fares defensively in a less-controlled playing environment before signing off on his return from the disabled list. Cespedes has been gradually increasing his running activity under the watchful eye of trainers in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and it seems likely he'll be able to move on to the next phase of his rehab by the weekend. Once Cespedes is activated, veteran Curtis Granderson could be relegated to a regular bench role, as 24-year-old Michael Conforto has emerged as the Mets' best hitter since Cespedes went down with the injury.
