Mets planning on Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) playing in rehab games

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) will head out on a rehab assignment before being activated from the disabled list.

What It Means:

There was thought the outfielder could skip playing in the minors before making his return, but the Mets thought better of it since the outfielder has been out nearly a month with a hamstring strain. Cespedes is expected to return to the club as early as next week.

Cespedes was batting .270 with a .411 wOBA, and .992 OPS in 75 plate appearances before the hamstring injury.
