Yoenis Cespedes' timetable for his return to the Mets just became much more unclear.
Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen announced Monday that Cespedes fractured his ankle during an accident at his ranch. Van Wagenen, who was joined in a press conference by Jeff Wilpon and Mickey Callaway, said the team hopes to have an update soon on Cespedes' status moving forward.
The accident occurred in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and resulted in multiple fractures in his right ankle.
"He had a violent fall in which he stepped in a hole and put his leg and foot in a difficult position," Van Wagenen said.
Cespedes underwent surgery on both heels, and he was back in the Mets clubhouse last month rehabbing. The 33-year-old is in the third season of a four-year, $110 million contact.
