Mets Coach Posts Video Of Cespedes Taking Batting Practice
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Mets outfielder Yoenis Céspedes is taking batting practice in his effort to return from a slew of lower-body injuries.
Minor league instructor and former Mets player Endy Chavez posted and then deleted video on Tuesday of the 34-year-old Céspedes taking swings. That came a few weeks after general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said he was uncertain whether Céspedes would play in 2020.

Céspedes broke an ankle in May while recovering from surgery on both heels. The injuries have sidelined Céspedes for most of the past two seasons.
