Cespedes' hamstring strain is not considered serious and the Mets are hopeful that he will be able to return when first eligible on May 8, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

General manager Sandy Alderson did not provide the grade of Cespedes' hamstring strain, but he said the ultrasound did not reveal any significant damage. While it is encouraging to hear that Cespedes may only miss 10 days, each ensuing hamstring injury further solidifies the fact that this is something that may plague him at times throughout the rest of his career. Michael Conforto figures to start almost every day in left field while Cespedes is out.
