NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes has been put on the 15-day disabled list because of a sore right quadriceps, and a feisty manager Terry Collins has teed off on those wondering whether the outfielder aggravated his injury playing golf.
Cespedes hurt his leg July 8, and the injury has been nagging him since. On Wednesday, former big leaguer Kevin Millar tweeted a photo of himself playing golf with Cespedes earlier in the day. Asked about that image before Thursday night’s Subway Series game at Yankee Stadium, Collins raised his voice.
“Golfing had nothing to do with his leg,” Collins said three hours before gametime.
