If that series with the Tigers wasn’t gross enough for you, then prepare your barf bags. Robinson Cano is seemingly headed for a long stint on the disabled list with a fifth metacarpal fracture in his throwing hand. The injury occurred when Cano was struck in the hand by a pitch from Tigers pitcher Blaine Hardy.
Cano has relatively regressed since his hot start to the season. However, losing your highest-paid player at a premier position is less than ideal. Not only is there now a hole at second base, but there is a hole at the third spot in the Mariners everyday lineup as well.
