Surgery on feet for Céspedes?
Yoenis Céspedes and the Mets are awaiting a recommendation from doctors after the outfielder had an MRI exam on both feet Monday.
Céspedes might need surgery to address calcification on both heels that has bothered him for 15 years, and he said surgery would sideline him for 8 to 10 months.
“I guess what we’re looking to find out is if it has progressed to the point where it’s something that cannot be managed with the conservative treatment that we’ve been using,” assistant general manager John Ricco said.
Céspedes, 32, has been treated with anti-inflammatory medication, stretching exercises and orthotics.
Suter surgery: The Brewers were already rumored to be shopping ahead of next Tuesday’s non-waiver trade deadline before starting pitcher Brent Suter said Monday he would need season-ending Tommy John surgery.
The left-hander exited a start Sunday and was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament a day later, ending his season after a career-high 1011⁄3 innings. He was 8-7 with a 4.80 ERA in 20 appearances, including 18 starts. Briefly: The Dodgers placed infielder Justin Turner on the 10-day disabled with a strained groin and recalled outfielder Alex Verdugo from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Verdugo scored the go-ahead run in the ninth inning of L.A.’s 7-6 win at Philadelphia . ... The Rays put lefty Blake Snell on the 10-day DL because of fatigue in his shoulder.
