New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes suffered right ankle fractures in an incident with a wild boar on his Port St. Lucie, Florida, ranch in May 2019 while he was recovering from surgery to both heels, per a New York Post report from January.
That ended Cespedes' 2019 season before it even began and put some doubt into his 2020 campaign, but the Mets are optimistic he'll be able to go once the 60-game season begins either July 23 or July 24.
"I think there is a strong chance he is going to be ready once the 60-game season starts," a club source told Mike Puma of the New York Post.
