Moves to injured list Cano (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a Grade 2 left adductor strain, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The veteran infielder exited Monday's contest with left groin tightness, and it remains unclear how much time he'll be spending on the shelf. Brian Dozier is starting at second base Tuesday and figures to see regular time there while Cano is sidelined, especially with Jeff McNeil (back) and Amed Rosario (quadriceps) also battling injuries.

Sent for MRI Cano (groin) underwent an MRI on Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact Cano left Monday's game against Atlanta with a tight left groin. Whether or not he's forced to miss an extended period should become clear once the results of the MRI are known. He's unsurprisingly out of the lineup Tuesday as a result.

Exits with groin tightness Cano exited Monday's game against the Braves with left groin tightness, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Cano extended his hitting streak to seven games with a pair of hits and a walk, plus three RBI, before exiting. He is swinging a very hot bat, so ideally he won't have to miss much time. Brian Dozier replaced him at second base and would likely get the starts at the keystone if Cano has to sit out a few games.

Two hits, early exit Monday Cano came out of Monday's game against the Braves with the Mets up 7-1 in the fifth inning, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Impact There are no reports of Cano suffering a visible injury. He was 2-for-2 with a walk and three RBI prior to being replaced at second base by Brian Dozier. It's possible this was just a way to get the veteran a little rest in a game the Mets were winning comfortably. Dozier has rated as a slightly better defender than Cano in recent seasons.

Hot streak continues Cano went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 7-1 loss to Atlanta.

Impact The 37-year-old has turned back the clock with a five-game hitting streak during which Cano has gone 10-for-16 with two walks, two doubles, a homer and four RBI. After a poor 2019 campaign in which he had trouble staying healthy, a short sprint of a season may be just what Cano needs to put up big numbers again.

Tallies three hits in loss Cano went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, one walk and one strikeout in Friday's loss to Atlanta.

Impact Cano wasn't in the starting lineup Thursday but blasted his first home run of the season in his return to the starting nine during Friday's 11-10 loss. The 37-year-old carries a .949 OPS with two extra-base hits and three RBI over his first 25 at-bats this season.

Not starting Thursday Cano isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Red Sox.

Impact Cano had started each of the Mets' first six games this season, but the 37-year-old will take a seat Thursday in favor of Brian Dozier, who will bat seventh after being added to the active roster Thursday. Cano went 5-for-20 with a double and one RBI to begin the year.

Nabs spot on Opening Day roster The Mets named Gimenez to their Opening Day roster Thursday. Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact In a surprise move, the 21-year-old will bypass the Triple-A level entirely and open the 60-game season with the big club as a reserve infielder. Expect Gimenez to serve as the top backup at shortstop and second base behind Amed Rosario and Robinson Cano, a role that may only translate to a couple starts per week. Gimenez may provide most of his impact as a late-inning defensive replacement or as a pinch runner, given his above-average speed.

Joins Mets on minors deal Dozier signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dozier signed a minor-league deal with the Padres back in February but was released by the team after failing to make their 60-man player pool. The veteran has fallen from his peak, when he hit 42 homers for the Twins back in 2016, but he's still a capable enough player, as his .238/.340/.430 slash line for the Nationals last season was good for a nearly average 99 wRC+, an acceptable figure for a middle infielder. It's unclear when he'll be ready for game action with the Mets or what kind of role he'll have once he arrives, as Robinson Cano appears to have second base locked down.
