After telling ESPN Deportes' Marly Rivera on Sunday that his wonky left shoulder was less than 100 percent, New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes amended his answer with Game 1 of the World Series looming.

"One hundred and 10 percent," he said Monday through an interpreter.

Hampered by swelling in his A/C joint, Cespedes has battled discomfort since being removed from Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, but assured reporters he would rip his arm off and put on a new one if his shoulder didn't heal in time for the World Series.

"Thank God I don't have to rip my arm off," he quipped.

An avid golfer, Cespedes' shoulder injury raised eyebrows after news surfaced that he spent the hours leading up to Game 4 of the NLCS on the links, but the 30-year-old has no intention to put his clubs down now, provided he's not in pain.

"As long as I wake up and I don't feel anything wrong, I'm going to keep playing golf," he said.

Cespedes received a cortisone injection in his shoulder and took batting practice with his teammates Sunday at Kauffman Stadium, allaying the fears of Mets manager Terry Collins.

"I have no concern," Collins said. "He feels great. I just saw him. He feels fine."

In nine games this postseason, Cespedes is hitting .265/.286/.471 with two homers, one double, one stolen base, and 11 strikeouts.
