Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes left Sunday's game early due to nausea/dizziness
The Mets were without Cespedes for the end of their win over the Twins
Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes left Sunday’s game prior to the seventh inning due to nausea/dizziness.
Between innings, Cespedes let the team know he wasn’t feeling well. He was replaced in the lineup by Brandon Nimmo, while Michael Conforto moved from right field to left field.
Prior to exiting the game, Cespedes was hit by a pitch, hit a double, and grounded into a double play.
After his double, he was stretching his still bothersome quad at second base.
Cespedes was supposed to have a day off on Sunday, but told manager Terry Collins he wanted to be in the lineup.
Cespedes will likely have to deal with his quad issue for the remainder of the season and potential postseason, so it’s ‘good’ news that the problem Sunday wasn’t the injury acting up.
He’s the player the Mets can least afford to lose, so hopefully whatever caused the nausea/dizziness dissipates before the Mets open their series against the Braves at Citi Field on Monday.
After hitting three homers in five games earlier this month, Cespedes has slowed down a bit — not having hit a homer since Sept. 11.
He’s hitting .289/.359/.553 with 30 HR and 81 RBI this season.
If Cespedes has to miss any time due to whatever caused his nausea/dizziness issue, the Mets really should turn to Michael Conforto, who had two hits on Sunday and has by far the highest upside of any of the other outfielders on the bench.
But Yo is the Lion King, so the safe bet is him shaking this off rather quickly.
