Yoenis Cespedes

Yoenis Cespedes absent from Mets' lineup on Wednesday

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is not starting on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

It's likely just a routine breather for Cespedes, who reached all four times against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, going 3-for-3 with a walk. He's 9-for-15 with a home run and a pair of walks over his last four contests. Brandon Nimmo will start in left field for the Mets and lead off the order versus Diamondbacks right-hander Zack Godley on Wednesday.

numberFire's models project Cespedes to record a .284 batting average with 4 home runs, 14 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 96 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
