MRI Results on Robinson Cano's Hamstring Injury Deliver Huge Blow to Mets
By Karl Rasmussen
Robinson Cano hasn't been having the greatest of seasons, oft facing criticism for his lack of hustle throughout the season. He's been red-hot of late, however, going 10-for-25 with a home run and 4 RBI across his past six games.
Unfortunately, just as he and the Mets have begun to heat up, he may be sidelined for a lengthy spell. According to reports, an MRI revealed the veteran second baseman has a torn hamstring.

The 36-year-old was placed on the IL with what had previously been described as a hamstring straing It comes at a most inopportune time for both Cano and his club. The Mets have won nine of their past 10 games and are pushing to get back in the playoff hunt.
Despite Cano's lack of production throughout the season, losing the veteran now could prove costly.
Wow. MRI on Cano revealed a TORN left hamstring. No surgery, but no timetable. Obviously going to be quite awhile.

It remains to be seen just how long Cano will be out, as no timetable has been offered, but he won't require surgery on the hamstring.
At best, Mets fans should be hoping that Robbie will be back before the end of the regular season.
