Mets’ Robinson Cano to begin rehab assignment with Cyclones
PHILADELPHIA — Robinson Cano’s push to return this season will reach a new level of legitimacy Saturday, when he is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment for Single-A Brooklyn.
The Mets second baseman has been sidelined since Aug. 5 with a torn left hamstring, an injury that Cano was initially told would take 6-12 weeks to heal. But Cano felt strong enough to increase his workload at Citi Field this week to include batting practice and running, albeit not at game speed.
With the minor league season concluding in the coming days, the Mets deemed Cano ready to test his hamstring in game action.
