The New York Mets placed second baseman Robinson Cano on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain on Monday. Cano, 36, sustained the injury in the bottom of the fourth inning of the Mets' 13-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
Cano hit what looked to be a double to right field but pulled up rounding first, was tagged out and retreated to the dugout. He did not come out for the bottom of the fourth. "I was running and just felt something tight on my left side, and I just stopped," Cano said after the game.
The 15-year veteran missed time earlier this year with a left quad injury. Cano is hitting .252 with 10 home runs and a .710 OPS.
To fill Cano's spot on the 25-man roster, New York called up infielder Luis Guillorme from Triple-A Syracuse. Guillorme has appeared in 17 games for the Mets on the season with four hits in 22 at-bats. At Syracuse, he hit .307 with seven home runs and 32 RBIs with 33 runs scored.
