Mets' Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) may be able to return without a rehab assignment

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) may be able to return without going through a minor league rehab assignment.

What It Means:

He appears to be back close to 100 percent, and he resumed running this past Monday. He's expected back in the Mets' lineup next week, with Tuesday being a potential target date. His return will cut into the playing time of Curtis Granderson and Michael Conforto, as the Mets' outfield is fairly crowded.

Cespedes was on a tear to start the season, batting .270/.373/.619 with a .412 wOBA in 75 plate appearances. He has 6 home runs, 10 RBI's, and 12 runs scored in 18 games played.
