New York Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes is back in the lineup two days after jamming his thumb on a headfirst slide into third base. Cespedes suffered the injury in the third inning Sunday and left the Mets' 14-2 win over the San Diego Padres.
X-rays taken that day were negative, but Cespedes had an MRI in New York on Monday to confirm that there was no serious injury.
