The New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will miss the rest of the season and undergo surgery on both heels, the team announced Wednesday.
Cespedes is expected to miss eight to 10 months after surgery. He was placed on the disabled list on Tuesday with calcification in both heels after an MRI and examination by a foot specialist.
The 32-year–old Cespedes had just returned from the disabled list last Friday after being sidelined for more than two months due to a strained right hip flexor.
He hit a home run in that game, a win against the New York Yankees but after the game admitted that he had issues with his heels for the better part of the last decade.
