NEW YORK -- The Mets hoped five straight days of having a designated hitter available in American League ballparks would allow Yoenis Cespedes to play through a right quadriceps injury.Cespedes instead landed on the disabled list Wednesday after the opening game of that stretch, dealing the Mets another serious blow in their quest to return to the postseason.The last at-bat, the second swing, I felt it, Cespedes said through an interpreter after Wednesdays 9-5 loss to the Yankees. Its been frustrating, because Ive lost my timing. Ive lost games. And I havent been able to contribute to the ballclub.Cespedes had been out of the starting lineup the previous three games. The injury dates to early July and forced Cespedes to skip the All-Star Game.The Mets will promote outfielder Brandon Nimmo from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill Cespedes roster spot.Nimmo had just been demoted Tuesday when Jay Bruce joined the club after being acquired from the Cincinnati Reds. Wednesday marked the debut of Cespedes and Bruce in the lineup together, batting third and fourth.I think the best option is just rest, about 10 days or so, because if I continue playing hurt, Im never going to recover, Cespedes said. [Manager] Terry [Collins] spoke with me after my last at-bat, and I told him my feelings. And after that he touched base with [general manager] Sandy [Alderson].Earlier in the day, Cespedes had been golfing, despite his recent absence from the lineup. Former major leaguer Kevin Millar tweeted a photo with Cespedes after a round of golf.Collins had said before the game that he had no problem with Cespedes golfing.Was he running on the course or was he walking? Did he ride a cart or was he jogging? Collins asked. I dont have any problem with it.Cespedes raised eyebrows during the National League Championship Series when he golfed in suburban Chicago on the morning of Game 4. Cespedes then departed that game with a shoulder injury. Cespedes subsequently explained that golfing relaxes him and he regularly plays during the season.In other injury news, first baseman Lucas Duda, who landed on the DL on May 23 with a stress fracture in his lower back, had a setback last week when discomfort flared up.Los Angeles-based specialist Robert Watkins recommended 30 days of rest, which probably ends Dudas season, according to Alderson. Watkins does not believe surgery ultimately will be necessary, Alderson added.Duda could be a non-tender candidate in December. He is making $6.725 million this season and is eligible for arbitration one final time this winter. Alderson suggested it is possible one of the Mets outfielders, presumably Michael Conforto or Bruce, might be asked to get acclimated to first base during the offseason.Right-hander Zack Wheeler will begin a rehab assignment on Saturday with Class A St. Lucie. Wheeler is returning from Tommy John surgery, performed in March 2015.

Happ threw consecutive inside pitches to Chase Headley in the top of the inning, hitting him with the second. That led to a warning from plate umpire Todd Tichenor.Yankees manager Joe Girardi was ejected for arguing the warning. New York pitching coach Larry Rothschild and bench coach Rob Thomson were ejected along with Severino following the second melee.Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson, hit on the elbow by a pitch from Severino in the bottom of the first, walked in from his position and exchanged words with the New York dugout after Headley was hit.ddddddddddddBoth benches and bullpens cleared that time, too, but no punches were thrown.Making his first start since Aug. 14 in place of injured right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (right forearm), Severino was on a limit of 50 pitches. Instead, he was ejected after throwing his 34th. Severino allowed one run and one hit, walked two and struck out one.Blue Jays right-hander Joaquin Benoit limped off the field and into the clubhouse following the second scuffle, appearing to favor his left foot or leg.The Yankees had lost a record eight straight games in Toronto and 11 of 14 overall.The teams were playing for the 19th and final time this season.
