Mets' Collins OK with ailing Cespedes playing golf

NEW YORK -- Mets manager Terry Collins said he had no problem with outfielder Yoenis Cespedes playing golf on Wednesday despite being out of the starting lineup the previous three days with a balky right quadriceps.

Cespedes remains unable to play the field, but starts as the designated hitter on Wednesday night as the Mets open a stretch of five straight games in American League ballparks with a Subway Series matchup against the Yankees in the Bronx.

Former major leaguer Kevin Millar tweeted a photo of the pair after a round of golf.
