NEW YORK -- Yoenis Cespedes' seasons-long inability to keep his legs healthy surfaced again this weekend, when he left a rehab game early Saturday due to tightness in his right quadriceps. The Mets planned to reevaluate Cespedes on Sunday.
Sidelined since May 14 due to a strained right hip flexor, which he initially referred to as a quad injury, Cespedes began a Minor League assignment Friday for Double-A Binghamton. Going 0-for-2 as a designated hitter, Cespedes -- in his first public comments in more than a month -- said he hoped to rejoin the Mets as soon as Tuesday in Atlanta.
