Yoenis Cespedes played first base for the first time in his career Wednesday in a rehab game for the New York Mets' Rookie League club.
Cespedes played all nine innings and went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer.
The 32-year-old outfielder has been out since May 15 with hip flexor and chronic heel injuries, and has told the Mets he is willing to move to first base, assistant general manager John Ricco told the New York Post last week.
The Mets however have said they anticipate Cespedes returning from the disabled list as an outfielder.
