Brain Lewis of the New York Post reports that a bruised left-hand was the reason New York Yankees second-baseman Robinson Cano left the game in the eighth inning.
The Yankees had Cano get x-rays and they came back fine.
Cano is listed as day-to-day, which has Yankee fans on high alert, as Cano is one of the best hitters and all-around players in baseball. Losing Cano would be devastating, as he has been the most consistent bat on the team.
Cano is tied for fourth in the majors with eight home-runs, batting a whooping .320 and has 21 RBIs already this season.
Let’s hope that Cano gets a well-deserved night off on Monday night just to be safe, as he has played every game this season.
The Yankees flew to Detroit after the 5-3 win against the Blue Jays, to play a four game set against the Tigers.
