Surgery for Mets’ Cespedes?

New York — A day after saying he may need surgery on both heels that would require an eight-to-10-month recovery, Yoenis Cespedes missed the Mets' 7-6 Subway Series loss Saturday because of body soreness and New York's front office did not publicly comment on his startling health revelation.

Cespedes homered in Friday's win over the Yankees, his first game since May 13 after two months on the disabled list caused by with a strained right hip flexor.

The 32-year-old, a two-time All-Star, revealed after the game that calcification on his heels has bothered him for 15 years and caused the lower body injuries that have limited him to 119 games in 1 1/2 seasons since he signed a $110 million, four-year contract.

Mets manager Mickey Callaway was unable answer whether Cespedes will need an operation. "I think that it's something that is probably a good question for the doctors as far as if he needs surgery or not," Callaway said. "We are aware of his heels issues and that they get painful, especially when he has long periods of time that he hasn't done much. And then he starts coming back, his heels get pretty sore. He's been battling that for 15 years."

Callaway also would not give an opinion as to whether Cespedes should have surgery sooner than later.

After the game, the Mets announced the trade of closer Jeurys Familia to Oakland for a pair of prospects, infielder William Toffey and right-hander Bobby Wahl plus $1 million in international signing bonus pool allocation. While the announcement included quotes from Mets officials, no one from the front office was available to discuss the trade with media.
