The Mets’ walking wounded includes three former All-Stars, but that list should shrink by at least one to start Round 2 of the Subway Series on Friday.
Yoenis Cespedes, who hasn’t played for the Mets since May 13, is expected to be removed from the disabled list and start at DH against the Yankees in The Bronx, giving the team a much-needed jolt in the lineup.
Jay Bruce and Todd Frazier joined Cespedes on the DL in recent weeks, further depleting a Mets lineup that has been among the most anemic in baseball this season. Neither Frazier nor Bruce is expected to immediately return.
