SEATTLE – Yet another Seattle Mariners player is headed to the 10-day disabled list.
This time it’s star second baseman Robinson Cano, who hasn’t played since May 10 due to a mild strain in his right quadriceps, as diagnosed Tuesday morning following a magnetic-resonance imaging scan. Cano’s DL stint is retroactive to May 13. The Mariners recalled outfielder Boog Powell to take Cano’s place on the 25-man roster.
Cano, who is hitting .296 this season with eight home runs and 28 RBI, joins a disabled list that already includes starting pitchers Drew Smyly (strained elbow), Felix Hernandez (shoulder bursitis), Hisashi Iwakuma (shoulder inflammation), James Paxton (strained forearm) and Ryan Weber (biceps strain), plus relievers Evan Scribner (flexor bundle strain) and Evan Marshall (hamstring) and outfielder Mitch Haniger (strained oblique).
