NEW YORK - Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes has been put on the 15-day disabled list because of a sore right quadriceps, and a feisty manager Terry Collins has teed off on those wondering whether the outfielder aggravated his injury playing golf.
The Mets recalled outfielder Brandon Nimmo from Triple-A Las Vegas before Thursday night’s Subway Series game at Yankee Stadium.
Cespedes hurt his leg July 8, and the injury has been nagging him since. He went 1 for 5 in Wednesday night’s 9-5 loss to the Yankees, and is hitting .292 with 22 homers and 59 RBIs.
