Cespedes left Friday night's contest before the bottom of the eighth inning, following a slide into second base on his RBI double in the seventh. Mets manager Terry Collins said his outfielder's leg was swollen Saturday and is unsure of when Cespedes could return to the lineup.
"The bruise is pretty big. He's aggravated it, and he's limping pretty bad," Collins said. "Hopefully, today, maybe tomorrow, we'll get home and he'll be ready to go."
