ATLANTA (CBSNewYork/AP) – New York Mets slugger Yoenis Céspedes did not report to the stadium for Sunday’s game in Atlanta and the club said it had not been able to locate him.
“As of game time, Yoenis Céspedes has not reported to the ballpark today. He did not reach out to management with any explanation for his absence,” general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said in a statement.
“Our attempts to contact him have been unsuccessful,” he said.
The team later said they do not believe Céspedes’ safety is at risk.
