With Yoenis Céspedes electing not to play the rest of the season, fit-again Robinson Cano may see significant time at DH as the Mets look to keep his 37-year-old legs healthy.
That should open up additional time for Andres Gimenez and Luis Guillorme, who started Friday at second base against Philadelphia Phillies.

“He’s going to be part of that [DH] rotation,” Mets coach Luis Rojas said of Cano.
“We can rotate. We have that depth, and those two guys, Luis and Andres, have versatility.”
