Three weeks from tomorrow, Robinson Canó will once again suit up for the Mariners. The past few weeks have made it abundantly clear that the team needs him back as soon as possible. Although they put up eight runs yesterday (mostly thanks to one Ryon Healy), the M’s came into Sunday’s game with the third-worst July wRC+ in the majors at just 76, only beating out the Giants and Tigers. Bringing Robi back will be a huge boon.
The question, though, is where will he play? On Friday, Ryan Divish reported that the team has a rough outline for Canó:
The early plan for Cano's return is to have him play 1B, DH and some second base.
