Cespedes was slow to get up and did a handful of stretching exercises before walking off the field with manager Terry Collins and trainer Ray Ramirez.

LF Yoenis Cespedes came up limping when he almost made a shoestring catch in the bottom of the ninth inning on the game-winning hit by Washington's Ryan Rayburn on Monday. Manager Terry Collins said after the game it is unlikely the slugger will be in the starting lineup on Tuesday. "It's just a cramp. It could have happened to anybody," Cespedes said through a translator. Did he think he had a shot to catch the ball? "For a moment I thought so, but as it kept on going I just realized that the possibility of that kept going down."

LF Yoenis Cespedes (left heel) exited following the fifth inning Monday night, when the Mets beat the Cubs 6-1. Cespedes, who was activated from the disabled list Saturday after missing 37 games due to left hamstring and right quad injuries, appeared to be moving slow as he walked to the plate for all three of his at-bats and ran gingerly to first base each time. Manager Terry Collins visited Cespedes in left field before the top of the fifth but Cespedes said the heel injury is a chronic one that often goes away. However, Cespedes admitted in the bottom of the inning that the injury was still bothering him, though he was able to convince Collins to let him bat one more time before being lifted for OF Juan Lagares. Both Cespedes and Collins said they were confident Cespedes would be in the lineup Tuesday. Cespedes went 1-for-3 Monday and is now batting .278 with seven homers and 14 RBIs in 21 games this season.
