Mets OF Yoenis Cespedes suffered a right hamstring strain in Friday's contest against the Nationals.

While rounding third on what turned out to be a dead ball, Cespedes pulled up in pain. He limped off the field as he couldn't put pressure on his right leg.

GM Sandy Alderon said the strain is similar to Cespedes' left hamstring strain back in late April, and he will definitely be heading to the DL. Alderson went on to say that he will be examined Monday in New York.

"I'm going to work hard and try to be back as soon as I can," Cespedes told The Post's Mike Puma, "But I am not going to push myself to come back if I am not 100 percent.
