4 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes said he expects to be the designated hitter on Friday, July 24, when the team opens the season against the Braves. Because of injuries to his feet and legs, Friday will be Cespedes' first major league game in more than two years. The right-handed slugger is feeling good and is also confident that he'll play left field at some point in 2020. The 34-year-old was an All-Star in 2014 and 2016, but he had surgery on both of his heels and broke his right ankle in a fall at his ranch last year. Most fantasy drafters will likely be scared off by Cespedes because of his age and prior injury history, but seeing most of his at-bats at DH this year could help him stay on the field. If his price is low in your draft, he's worth a late-round flier.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
