NEW YORK -- New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson called it bad optics that Yoenis Cespedes played a round of golf hours before landing on the disabled list with a lingering right quadriceps injury.On Thursday, Alderson added that he has come to a mutual agreement with Cespedes representatives that the outfielder will refrain from golfing, at least for the time period when it could be viewed negatively by the public.Ive had conversations with his people, but not directly with Yoenis, Alderson said. But that message will get to him, at least circuitously, and probably directly.... I think everybody is taking it seriously. I think Yoenis takes it seriously. But Yoenis has his own personal life that sometimes is larger than life. Weve seen that from the beginning of spring training.Cespedes injured the quadriceps on July 8, and he has been in and out of the lineup for the past month. He finally landed on the DL after a 9-5 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday, when manager Terry Collins spotted Cespedes grimacing on a swing during his final at-bat. The outfielder said he could not continue.Alderson did not have an estimate for the length of Cespedes absence, but the GM hoped it would be limited to two weeks. Alderson said an MRI taken of Cespedes quadriceps Thursday showed no worsening of the injury from when it was originally diagnosed.In retrospect, Alderson acknowledged the Mets should have placed Cespedes on the DL when the injury originally occurred. Cespedes skipped the All-Star Game and appeared in only 14 games since originally straining the muscle. He hit .227 with one homer and seven RBIs in 44 at-bats during that stretch.It has been a trying month or so with Yoenis and the injury, Alderson said. And, in retrospect, its probable that we should have just put him on the DL at the beginning of this episode, which is generally true with most injuries, unfortunately. ... On the other hand, he wanted to try to play through it. We certainly had every interest in seeing him do that.Alderson said team doctors cannot confirm that golf made the injury worse, but the GM acknowledged it comes off looking poor. At least one Mets employee was disappointed that former major leaguer Kevin Millar tweeted a photo of his round of golf on Wednesday with Cespedes, which put it on the medias radar.In reality, Cespedes may have played golf 10 times in the past couple of weeks, a team official said.The golf is bad optics, Alderson said. Lets just start there. Our doctors have told us that probably had no impact on the injury -- positive or negative. But lets face it: You play golf during the day and then go out injured in the evening, its a bad visual. I think he recognizes that at this point. So well go from there.Cespedes landing on the DL is a serious blow to the Mets, who entered Thursday a season-high 8? games behind the Washington Nationals in the National League East. Jay Bruce just made his Mets debut on Tuesday after being acquired from the Cincinnati Reds. Cespedes and Bruce appeared in the starting lineup only once together before Cespedes required the DL trip.With Brandon Nimmo promoted to replace Cespedes, the Mets now have five lefty-hitting outfielders, which Alderson acknowledged is not ideal. In addition to Cespedes, righty-hitting outfielders Juan Lagares (thumb surgery) and Justin Ruggiano (hamstring strain) are on the DL.The Mets considered calling up T.J. Rivera, but he is primarily an infielder, so team officials passed. Mets brass also was concerned about Travis Taijerons high strikeout rate with Triple-A Las Vegas (131 Ks in 364 at-bats).Were going to have to grin and bear it for the moment, Alderson said. We are a little heavily populated with left-handed hitters. Philip Rivers Jersey . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring. Melvin Ingram Chargers Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. http://www.prochargersteamstore.com/Youth-Dan-Fouts-Elite-Jersey/ . After a replay, the winner will meet Sunderland in the quarterfinals. Sagbo did well to control Sone Alukos right cross and fire past Brighton goalkeeper Peter Brezovan. Aluko was making his first start in four months after recovering from an Achilles injury. Lance Alworth Youth Jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. Derwin James Womens Jersey . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach.
