Mickey Callaway: Yoenis Cespedes Hinting at Surgery on Heel Injury 'Concerning'

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said Saturday he feels bad for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes since it's been "extraordinarily tough for him to be on the field" because of lingering injuries.

Anthony DiComo of MLB.com passed along comments from the Mets skipper after Cespedes hinted Friday he could need surgery to alleviate long-term heel pain.

"That's concerning," Callaway said. "I feel bad for the guy. He has worked so hard. If you see the stuff he has to go through to get back—he worked so hard this winter. We talked about everything that he tried to do to put himself in a good spot to come out and be healthy for the team.
