Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes played first base and batted second in his second Minor League rehab game Wednesday when he suited up for the Rookie-level GCL Mets in a 12 p.m. ET matchup against the CLG Astros at First Data Field in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
The 32-year-old Cespedes, who has been on the disabled list since May 16 while he recuperates from a strained right hip flexor, returned to game action Tuesday and went 1-for-4 while playing seven innings in left field. Cespedes also participated in a simulated game Monday, hitting two home runs and logging seven plate appearances along with five innings in the outfield.
