The status of Robinson Cano went from day-to-day to out of the lineup for at least seven more days.
On Tuesday, the Mariners placed their all-star second baseman on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right quad. Outfielder Boog Powell was recalled from Class AAA Tacoma to take his spot on roster. Taylor Motter will start in Cano’s place with Mike Freeman also possibly seeing some action at second.
The move is retroactive to May 13 (the maximum number of days a DL stint can retroactively dated), meaning Cano can return on May 23 — the first day of the Mariners brutal road trip starting in Washington D.
