Mets place Robinson Cano back on injured list, call up Tim Peterson
Cano appeared for just a few innings between injured list stints. The Mets have placed Robinson Cano back on the injured list and called up relief pitcher Tim Peterson to take his spot on the active roster. Cano had come off the injured list without playing in any rehab games last week, and he played just a few innings before his quad forced him out of the one game he played in. And for the past few days, the Mets had hesitated to put him back on the injured list, even though he wasn’t able to play. Cano’s season has gotten off to a rough start, as he’s hit just .238/.284/.366 with...

Let’s see how it feels tomorrow,” Cano said Friday before remaining out...
