Mariners should have better idea on Cano recovery today

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Seattle Mariners say they will have a better idea on the projected length of Robinson Cano’s recovery time after the second baseman is examined by a hand specialist in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

The eight-time All-Star broke the pinkie finger of his right hand when hit by a pitch from left-hander Blaine Hardy on Sunday at the Detroit.

Cano is batting .287 with four homers, 23 RBIs and a .385 on-base percentage in 39 games this season.

Seattle put Cano on the 10-day disabled list and recalled infielder Gordon Beckham from Tacoma.
