Mets' Robinson Cano Leaves Game With Hand Injury Attempting Steal
Mets’ Robinson exits game early
On Monday, veteran New York Mets second-baseman Robinson Cano left the team’s game against the Miami Marlins with a left hand injury. Cano suffered the injury in the 6th inning of the game when he attempted to steal home with the bases loaded and one out. Cano injured his hand on a tag from catcher Nick Fortes as he slid into the plate.
Cano was in significant pain after the play and was immediately taken out of the game. X-rays were negative, but Cano is still expected to undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the injury.
Mets’ injury woes
The Mets have been hit hard by injuries this season. Cano is the latest player to go down, joining a list that includes Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, and Starling Marte.
The Mets are now 26-29 on the season and are in third place in the NL East. They will hope to get Cano back soon, but his injury is a major blow to their chances of making the playoffs.
Cano’s injury history
Cano has a history of hand injuries. In 2018, he missed 80 games with a fractured right hand. He also missed time in 2021 with a left hand injury.
Cano is a key player for the Mets, and his injury is a major concern. The Mets will need him to be healthy if they want to make a run at the playoffs.
What does this mean for the Mets?
Cano’s injury is a big blow to the Mets. He is a veteran leader and one of the best hitters in the lineup. Without him, the Mets will have to find someone to fill his spot at second base and in the middle of the order.
The Mets have a few options to replace Cano. They could move Jeff McNeil to second base and insert Brandon Nimmo into the lineup in center field. They could also call up infielder Luis Guillorme from Triple-A.
No matter what the Mets decide to do, they will need to find a way to replace Cano’s production. He is a key player for the Mets, and his injury is a major concern.
