Robinson Cano begins rehab assignment with Rainiers on Monday night

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais only said “real soon” when asked Sunday about when Robinson Cano might begin a minor league rehab assignment.

But Servais meant it.

Cano will play with Triple-A Tacoma on Monday at Cheney Stadium in his first game since he fractured his finger and then was hit with an 80-game suspension for violating major league baseball’s joint drug agreement.

Monday will be Cano’s first minor-league game since one game last year in the Dominican Winter League. He was last in a Triple-A game in 2005 with the Yankees’ Triple-A Columbus.
