Yoenis Cespedes is expected to be ready to play for the New York Mets when the season resumes in late July.

The last time Yoenis Cespedes suited up for an actual game for the New York Mets the idea of an Opening Day in late July seemed unfathomable. Back in 2018 when Cespedes returned for one game against the New York Yankees in the middle of the season only to then land back on the sidelines for what will now be more than two full years, nobody saw the 2020 season going anything like it has.
