Robinson Cano

Robinson Cano (legs) will make his spring debut on Friday versus the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

The Mets have been easing Cano into action this spring after the second baseman dealt with leg injuries last year. The 37-year-old hit just .256 with a .735 OPS in 107 games in 2019.

Carlos Beltran has informed the Mets that it is best if he steps down as manager.

Fantasy Impact

The fallout from the sign-stealing scandals continues to expand, now with Beltran stepping down as manager of the Mets. Beltran is now the first player who will endure a punishment, and his resignation also marks the third managerial change this week. It remains to be seen if the MLB will formally punish Beltran, or any other players who were implicated in the sign-stealing scandal.

Mets second baseman Robinson Cano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks. The homer was his 13th of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Cano has now hit in four straight games, with two home runs during that span. He is available in more than 50% of leagues and could be a decent waiver-wire pickup heading into the final couple of weeks of the season.

Robinson Cano (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Cano was activated from the IL ahead Tuesday’s game against the Nationals. He’s not in starting lineup, but will be available off the bench if needed. Cano is hitting .252 with 10 home runs and 32 RBI in 86 games this season.

Robinson Cano (hamstring) took early batting practice Wednesday and will do some running Thursday if he feels good.

Fantasy Impact

Cano is progressing from a torn left hamstring a little faster than anticipated, especially if he is able to do some running this week. It's still not determined if he will return before the season ends. This is a step in the right direction. Joe Panik will continue start at second base for the time being.
