Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) out for Mets versus Washington

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) is not in the lineup Friday against the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Despite the absence, it's encouraging that Cespedes hasn't been placed on the disabled list. He'll be held out of action for a few days. Michael Conforto will start in left field for the Mets while Juan Lagares mans center and Curtis Granderson is in right.

Cespedes is batting .263/.377/.632 with 6 home runs, 10 RBI's and 12 runs scored in 69 plate appearances this season.
