Cespedes (heel) is batting third and playing left field in Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Cespedes is back in action after leaving Monday's series opener with a heel issue. The Mets were likely exercising precaution with their slugger given the amount of time he has already missed this season. He'll look to add to his seven homers and 14 RBI as he faces southpaw Jon Lester on Tuesday.
