Mets OF Yoenis Cespedes says his left shoulder injury isn’t 100 percent healed but that he’ll be ready for Game 1 of the World Series (Oct. 26).
“I feel much better. I’m not 100 percent, but I know I’ll be ready for Tuesday,” Cespedes told Marly Rivera of ESPN Deportes. “The cortisone shot relieved the pain and inflammation. But even if I’m not 100 percent, I am certain I will play on Tuesday. …The doctor told me my AC joint is a bit swollen, and that’s why it hurt. It happens to many athletes, but it is not a serious injury, and will heal quickly.”
Cespedes, who left Game 4 of the NLCS in the second inning due to the injury and received a cortisone shot on Thursday, told Rivera that the injury had nothing to do with the fact that he played golf prior to Game 4.
“The first question the doctor asked me after leaving the game was if I had been doing push-ups. I never like to do push-ups, but the visiting clubhouse in Chicago has no gym, so those two days I did push-ups,” Cespedes said. “This has nothing to do with playing golf. As you know, this year, and when I was with Oakland last year, I played golf almost every day before games, and I never got injured.”
Cespedes did not participate in the Mets’ optional workout on Friday, but participated in workouts on both Saturday and Sunday.
