52 Yoenis Cespedes LF

Cespedes went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Yankees.

Sunday's off day didn't cool down Cespedes' bat, as he's now homered in three straight games and five times in his last 10 starts. Injuries have limited the 31-year-old to a disappointing 15 home runs in 70 games on the season, but he's more than capable of a big finish to 2017.

Cespedes is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Cespedes has five hits -- including two home runs and five RBI -- during his past three games, but he'll receive a scheduled day of rest as the Mets close out their weekend series against Zach Eflin and the Phillies. Brandon Nimmo will take over in left field, batting seventh.

Cespedes went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Saturday against the Phillies.

Cespedes smashed his 14th bomb of the campaign to put the Mets on the board in the fourth inning of a divisional loss. He's now homered in three of his last five games to raise his slugging percentage to .512, and although he's not performing like the fantasy star he's been over the past couple years, he's still a solid fantasy option.

Cespedes went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBI Friday against the Phillies.

Cespedes blasted his 13th homer of the year to erase a three-run deficit to help lead the Mets to a road victory Although his slugging percentage is significantly down from the past two years, he's homered three times over his last eight games, and he's always capable of putting together an extended hot streak to carry an offense and fantasy team.

Cespedes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to Colorado.

This was just the second home run through the past 30 games for Cespedes, as the slugger has struggled to hit for power for a prolonged stretch. He still sports a rock-solid .281/.327/.504 slash line for the campaign, but the counting stats are trailing off considerably, as Cespedes has just 11 homers, 30 RBI and 35 runs.
