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