Yoenis Cespedes expects to continue to golf during World Series

KANSAS CITY -- New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will not abstain from golf during the World Series.

Cespedes suggested Monday afternoon that he will continue to swing the clubs for the remainder of the postseason assuming his left shoulder feels OK.

Cespedes departed in the second inning of Game 4 of the National League Championship Series last Wednesday with an injury to the AC joint in his left shoulder. He received a cortisone injection in New York the following day.

The Mets have faulted push-ups Cespedes did at Wrigley Field because of the lack of a proper weight room at the historic stadium for causing the injury.

Cespedes regularly golfs, as he did the morning of the clincher in Chicago, when he was forced to depart the game.

Cespedes resumed taking batting practice on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium.

“Yesterday I felt a little something when I was there,” Cespedes said through an interpreter on Monday afternoon. “But this morning I woke up and I felt great. I didn’t feel anything.”
