Cespedes fractures ankle in accident at his ranch

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.
