Cespedes playing first in Minors rehab game
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.
