Mets' Yoenis Cespedes: Not in Saturday's lineup

Cespedes (quad) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies, James Wagner of the New York Times reports.

Analysis:

Cespedes strained his right quad a couple of days before the All-Star break, and he'll now miss a second straight game following the festivities. The slugger took batting practice Friday, however, and was close to returning Saturday, so a DL stint does not seem likely at this point. In place of Cespedes, Juan Lagares will make another start in center field and hit eighth Saturday.
