Mets OF
Cespedes
has cortisone
injection
in shoulder

NEW YORK (AP) — Mets
outfielder Yoenis Cespedes
has received a cortisone
injection in his sore left
shoulder, and the team ex-
pects him to be ready for
the World Series next week.
Cespedes left Wednesday
night’s NL Championship
Series finale at Chicago
in the second inning. The
slugger had the injection
on Thursday and was told
not to participate in base-
ball activities for 24 hours,
Mets spokesman Jay Hor-
witz said. Cespedes did not
attend Friday’s voluntary
workout at Citi Field.
Mets manager Terry Collins
says: “We’ve got it taken
care of. The doctors, they
said, look, he’ll be OK, and
so tomorrow we’ll find out.”
Collins said he didn’t ask
how Cespedes got hurt.
Hitting coach Kevin Long
said Cespedes thought he
did it doing push-ups.
“He didn’t do it playing
golf. He didn’t have a bad
sand shot or didn’t get
stuck in the side of a bun-
ker,” Collins said.
