NEW YORK -- New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson on Thursday called it "bad optics" that Yoenis Cespedes played a round of golf hours before landing on the disabled list with a lingering right quadriceps injury.
Alderson added that he has come to a "mutual agreement" with Cespedes' representatives that the outfielder will refrain from golfing, at least for the time period when it could be viewed negatively by the public.
"I've had conversations with his people, but not directly with Yoenis," Alderson said. "But that message will get to him, at least circuitously, and probably directly.
