Yoenis Cespedes to have surgery on heels, expected to miss 8-10 months

The New York Mets announced Wednesday that outfielder Yeonis Cespedes will have season-ending surgery on both heels.

The surgery, to repair calcification around his Achilles' tendons, has not been scheduled. It will be done in stages, one foot at a time.

Cespedes will be out an estimated 8-10 months, per the team. He could be out longer, but not a shorter amount of time.
