Mets To Place Yoenis Cespedes On 15-Day DL

By Jeff Todd | August 3, 2016 at 9:35pm CDT

The Mets will place outfielder Yoenis Cespedes on the 15-day DL, manager Terry Collins told reporters including MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo tonight (Twitter link). The star slugger has been playing through a quad issue, but hope that extended rest will help him get back to full capacity.

Cespedes appeared in tonight’s action, but felt added discomfort while at the plate, per James Wagner of the New York Times (via Twitter). He has been quite productive despite the lingering injury. The concern, it seems, was that the club would need to allot frequent rest and limit Cespedes’s exposure to center field just to manage the problem, which would ultimately fail to address it while leaving him at risk of exacerbating things.

It’s still a tough blow to a New York organization that fell to 55 and 52 with tonight’s loss, putting them 8.5 games out of the NL East. While the recent addition of Jay Bruce ought to help offset the loss of offensive productivity, the hope had been that he’d be adding to the middle of the lineup. Brandon Nimmo will return from Triple-A to round out the roster.

    If this ass plays golf during this time cut him. He obviously doesn’t give a shit. Send him back to Cuba. Ungrateful

    This is unbelievable. Someone is on the DL every other week with this team.

      Seems more like every other day rather than every other week.

      As a DBacks fan, I feel your pain. Although at least your team has somehow weathered your injury problems

      The Dodgers and Angels have had the worst of it this year but the Mets aren’t far off. #GetBraun

    So let me get this straight. He plays golf today and has no problem swinging the clubs then goes on DL. Pure selfish

    Bye bye mets.

    And to the dbacks fan, it’s called depth. The lack of it on Arizona is why no one other than steve adams thought that team had a chance

      But when you lose a superstar like pollock, you’re obviously going to get worse, no matter what your depth looks like.

    Was at the game tonight, cespedes just didn’t have it. He took some weak hacks and I told my friend who is a mets fan ” he looks injured” . Too bad mets fans, best of luck to the metropolitans

      Tired of neck year. Wish there was more of a Steinbrenner mentality in this poor (literally poor) organization. 10 straight years of having players drop like flys and no one has been held accountable.

    Baseball interferes with Cespedes golf game. If an average Joe called in sick and was constantly found out playing golf what do you think would happen? But when you’re guaranteed $27 million a year you can do any damn thing you want. No respect!

    people who think golf has anything to do with respect, injury or baseball performance are extremely ignorant. he’s had a bad quad damn near all year, the only thing thats gonna heal it is extended rest from strenuous baseball activity.

    Woodhead is an appropriate name! How ignorant are you? When you swing a club you’re using all your muscles thru torque in ones body. Your also walking! He should be in the clubhouse receiving oxygen therapy but When you have wood in your head as in sawdust what should we respect. If you can’t participate in your chosen sports profession you do NOT belong playing golf. How’s Tiger doing these days if you don’t think it’s a physical game. Wake up sawdust. You respect the game, your managers and coaches. That’s why he didn’t get any long term offers.
