Mets' Yoenis Cespedes: Removed for precautionary reasons

Cespedes was removed from Saturday's game following his fifth-inning at-bat for precautionary reasons, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reports.

Analysis:

The reason for Cespedes' removal was not explicitly noted, but he missed a game earlier this week with a sore quad, so it's possible he felt some tightness in the area and was taken out of the game because of it. Cespedes' status for the Mets' next game Sunday will be revealed at some point on Sunday morning.
