Mariners’ Robinson Cano to have sports hernia surgery after season

Cano, who will turn 33 on Oct. 22, plans to play in the final three games of the 2015 season before having surgery on Oct. 13. Trout hit the second pitch deep into the right-center gap, then slid head-first into third base before emphatically pumping his right arm toward his teammates in the dugout.

Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano will undergo surgery to fix a sports hernia after the season, he announced Friday.

Khalfayan said Cano has played through the injury since July, but the condition is apparently unrelated to a stomach issue the second baseman dealt with earlier this season.

According to Larry Stone of the Seattle Times, Cano has played through a sports hernia since July and will have surgery October 13 to correct the problem.

Dr. William Meyers will do the surgery in Philadelphia.

“I was hoping not to get surgery but they did a test two days ago and that’s when we chose to do surgery”, he said. Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reported Cano will need six weeks of recovery time. 212 in 25 games, Cano enjoyed a scintillating second-half, hitting. Im going to start at the same time. I just got to be careful. Im not supposed to lift anything heavy.

Asked why he doesn’t just take the final three games off, Cano said, “I love to play baseball”.

“Robbie’s been playing with this and he’s playing very well”, Khalfayan said.

“It’s good that we found out what it is compared to going home and wondering if it’s gonna heal 100 percent”, Cano said.

Cruz won the player of the year award in his first season with the club. “It’s good that I can get surgery and go to spring training knowing that I don’t have to worry about anything”.
