The New York Mets will start the second half of the season with outfielder Yoenis Cespedes after he was activated from the 10-day disabled list on Friday.
The 32-year-old hasn't played since May 13 with hip flexor and chronic heel injuries. The team said he is available for Friday's game against the New York Yankees.
On Wednesday, he played first base for the first time in his career in a rehab game for the Mets' rookie league club.
Cespedes played all nine innings and went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run.
