Robinson Cano Could Return on Tuesday
Robinson Cano (hamstring) is expected to be ready to return from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He suffered a hamstring tear on August 5, but has been making excellent progress. He collected two hits during his rehab game on Saturday and appears ready to play again. Cano should be back in the lineup for Tuesday's game, assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

Robinson Cano Removed Due To Dizziness On Friday
Robinson Cano (head) was removed from Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels due to dizziness. His removal came in the third inning before his first at-bat of the game. Orlando Arcia came in as a pinch-hitter for him. Cano has played in six games with the Braves since being traded to the team for cash considerations earlier this month. He's gone 4-for-18 with a double over that six-game stretch. He will continue serving as one of the team's replacements for second baseman Ozzie Albies (foot), who is expected to remain out until at least mid-August.

Robinson Cano Joins Braves Roster
Robinson Cano has been recalled to the big league roster on Monday. The 39-year-old was acquired by the Braves in a trade with the San Diego Padres over the weekend. The veteran second baseman is hitting .149/.182/.189 with one homer in 77 plate appearances this season. He offers basically nothing in terms of fantasy production at this stage in his career. However, he'll likely get a decent amount of at-bats in Atlanta, especially against right-handed pitching. Fantasy managers can wait until Cano does something before rostering him.

The Braves are Cano's third team this season. He played in exactly 12 games for both the Mets and the Padres. The 39-year-old veteran hasn't been able to settle in at the plate yet this year, slashing just .149/.182/.189.

Braves Acquire Robinson Cano
Robinson Cano from the San Diego Padres for cash considerations. They will receive the 39-year-old slugger on a veteran minimum deal. The New York Mets are on the hook for $24 million after releasing Cano earlier in the season. Cano has struggled with the bat this season and isn't worth a look in fantasy leagues. He'll likely get a decent amount of playing time in Atlanta, but it's unlikely he has much to offer at this point in his career.
