the first of two procedures that will likely sideline him for eight to 10
months.Dr. Robert Anderson removed bone calcification in Cespedes’ heel during

Thursday that Cespedes will rest for eight to 12 weeks before getting surgery on
his left heel.”The surgery went well as expected, so that was positive

Cespedes has some mobility in the right leg before the second surgery.The
32-year-old outfielder hit .262 with nine homers and 29 RBIs in 38 games this
season. He missed over two months with what the Mets said was a strained right
hip flexor and homered in his return from the disabled list July 20 against the
Yankees.The return was brief as Cespedes stunned the Mets by saying he was
considering surgery on both heels. He sat out the next game and was placed on
the 10-day disabled list on July 24.Since the start of 2017 – the first season
of his $110 million, four-year contract – lower leg injuries have limited
Cespedes to 119 games.The Mets have said they were aware Cespedes’ heel issues
