Yoenis Cespedes was again held out of the New York Mets' lineup on Sunday because of a hamstring injury, with manager Terry Collins acknowledging the possibility the slugger could be headed to the disabled list if he's not fit to play by Tuesday.

"I think we'd need to take a look at that," Collins said before Sunday's game against the Nationals when asked if he would consider a DL stint for either Cespedes or catcher Travis d'Arnaud, who is nursing a wrist injury.

According to the Mets manager, Cespedes, who has now missed three straight games, "told me he felt a lot better today." Collins is hopeful the outfielder will return for New York's series opener against the Braves on Tuesday.
