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.
