According to Tim Healey of Newsday, Yoenis Cespedes has started running, making progress in his rehabilitation from two heel surgeries.
Along with this, he participated in on-field batting practice drills with the team as they are in Miami to play the Marlins on Friday.
Although he has progressed to running, the Mets are limiting his “explosive activity” as per Brodie Van Wagenen. When asked about Cespedes returning this season, Van Wagenen said that “time will tell.”
There is still no discrete timetable for Cespedes’ return to the Mets, as he continues to take baby steps in his rehab. Playing in just 38 games in 2018, his last being July 20th, Cespedes hit .262 with an .821 OPS and nine home runs.
