Cespedes has been limited to just one Cactus League at-bat because of right quad soreness, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear when, or if, Cespedes might be cleared for more games this spring. The outfield prospect spent all of the 2022 season at Double-A Birmingham, but he could move up to Triple-A Charlotte to open the 2023 minor-league season if he's back to full health in time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to land with White Sox
OFFree Agent  
December 22, 2020
Cespedes is expected to sign with the White Sox for nearly $2 million, MLB Pipeline reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old, whose half-brother, Yoenis, has had a long and successful MLB career, defected from Cuba in June of 2019. He'll join a large group of his countrymen in Chicago, though there's no guarantee he ever reaches the highest level. He's a toolsy outfielder, with an arm that has received 80 grades from some scouts, but he hasn't played a game in a year and a half and hardly set the world on fire in Cuba, hitting .287/.352/.416 in 226 games in the Cuban National Series.
