New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes suffered multiple fractures of his right ankle during a "violent fall" on Saturday, according to the Mets.
The incident occurred at Cespedes' ranch in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen told reporters on Monday that Cespedes stepped in a hole.
"He twisted and put his leg and foot in a difficult position," said Van Wagenen, adding that Cespedes didn't fall off a horse. Cespedes is being evaluated at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
Cespedes, 33, who is in the third season of a four-year, $110 million contract, hasn't played this season as he recovers from surgeries on both heels.
