Some interesting words came from the mouth of New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson last week. When discussing the injuries to Todd Frazier and Yoenis Cespedes, Alderson said he was “surprised” the latter had not returned to the lineup.
Sandy Alderson said he is a little surprised Cespedes is still on the DL, given it was a hip flexor injury and not a quad. As for a timetable: "I won't say he is close, but I don't think he is that far away."
We can read into this many ways.
