PHILADELPHIA - Yoenis Cespedes left Wednesday night’s Mets game after being hit by a pitch on the left hand. The Mets’ slugger seemed to be hit in the area of his pinkie finger on a checked swing in the third inning.

He was taken off the field for X-Rays. The team had no immediate information about his condition.
