After multiple ankle fractures caused him to miss the entire 2019 season, New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes expects to be ready for Opening Day.

"If I continue progressing the way that I am, yes," Cespedes said about playing the March 26 game against the Washington Nationals, via ESPN.

The 34-year-old had originally said he wasn't going to speak to media this season but clarified Sunday that he was simply trying to look forward.

"I'm not going to speak about the past," Cespedes told reporters.
