Cespedes, Matz, Lugo Getting Closer To Return To Mets

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Steven Matz and Seth Lugo are each scheduled to make one more rehab start in the minors before joining the New York Mets’ rotation.

In another injury update, general manager Sandy Alderson said Monday the team hopes slugger Yoenis Cespedes will be ready to come off the disabled list in a week to 10 days — perhaps in time to be the designated hitter during a two-game series at Texas that begins June 6.

“That’s conjecture at this point,” Alderson explained.

Cespedes has been on the DL since April 28 with a strained left hamstring.
