Robinson Cano’s season is not dead yet.
The Mets’ second baseman and his torn left hamstring took early batting practice Wednesday before the team continued its series with the Indians. If Cano arrives back at Citi Field on Thursday feeling good, he will “run a little bit,” manager Mickey Callaway said.
The pregame work was a sudden sign of life from Cano, who went on the injured list Aug. 5 with what appeared likely to be a season-ending injury. But four days later, the 36-year-old said he already was feeling better and that kept the hope alive for him to return this year as the Mets chase a playoff spot.
