In less than a month, Robinson Cano will be back to playing in the Seattle Mariners' organization.
Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Tuesday that Cano will be able to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Aug. 1, with a tentative return date to the big-league club set for Aug. 14 following his 80-game suspension for violating major league baseball’s joint drug agreement and testing positive for a diuretic, Furosemide.
Cano began his suspension on May 15.
Dipoto said Cano will go to the Dominican Republic before the All-Star break on July 16 to get more field work in at his complex he owns there, the RC22 Dream School.
