Cespedes One of Mets' Only Offensive Threats

Cespedes leads the team in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, home runs and RBI, per Baseball-Reference.com.

Runs have been hard to come by for the Mets this year. They are 28th in the league in runs scored, succeeding in large part thanks to a deep pitching staff.

Yet even those power arms have taken a beating, with Matt Harvey out for the season and Noah Syndergaard suffering a "dead arm" in the same game in which Cespedes injured his quad.

It's been a constant battle for the Mets to stay in the National League East race with the Nationals. Cespedes' return should help Terry Collins' team stay in the mix.
