Yoenis Cespedes, who just returned this past weekend from a hamstring injury, left Monday night's game against the Chicago Cubs with a sore left heel.

Cespedes was visited in the field in the fifth inning by Terry Collins and trainer Ray Ramirez.

He stayed in the game to take his turn at bat in the bottom of the inning, but he didn't return to the field in the sixth for the New York Mets.

Cespedes said after the game the heel has bothered him for years, and that he expected to play Tuesday night. "I'm just trying to be a little cautious,'' he said through a translator.
