ARLINGTON -- Suspended Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano will begin his rehabilitation assignment on Monday night as the starting first baseman with Triple-A Tacoma at Cheney Stadium in a 7:05 PT game against Colorado Springs.
Cano is serving an 80-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program on May 15, and he's eligible to return to Seattle on Aug. 14.
Suspended players are allowed to play Minor League games in the final two weeks before their reinstatement. Tacoma plays on Monday and Tuesday at Cheney Stadium before beginning a seven-game road trip.
