NEW YORK (AP) — Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes is out of the lineup because of a strained right hip flexor and could be headed to the disabled list.The team says Cespedes had a precautionary MRI that showed a mild strain Tuesday. Brandon Nimmo was set to play left field in Cespedes' place against the Toronto Blue Jays.Cespedes was available to pinch-hit, but New York manager Mickey Callaway said he would only use him in "an obvious chance to win the game."General manager Sandy Alderson says the club will decide in the next couple of days whether to put Cespedes on the 10-day DL. Alderson says he spoke to Cespedes about that possibility and the outfielder is "prepared to be realistic about his situation."Cespedes has been dealing with the nagging injury for more than a week, though he's described it as discomfort in his quadriceps. He hasn't shown any improvement over the past couple of days, Alderson said.___More AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano has joined a lengthy list of players who have been suspended for violating baseball's drug agreement.Cano was suspended for 80 games after testing positive for Furosemide, a diuretic. The 35-year-old was the 87th player suspended since 2005, when testing with penalties for first violations began. He said the substance was given to him by a licensed doctor in the Dominican Republic to treat a medical problem.What stands out about Cano's place on the list is his place among baseball's biggest names. After nine seasons and five All-Star appearances with the New York Yankees, Cano signed a $240 million, 10-year contract with the Mariners following the 2013 season.The contract was the fourth-largest in major league history at the time, signaling Cano's place as one of the game's elite. Since then, the second baseman has earned three more All-Star appearances and hit a career-high 39 home runs in 2016.Now, Cano has to sit and wait while his immediate... [More]

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner threw off a mound Monday for the first time since surgery in March to have three pins inserted into the broken pinkie on his pitching hand.Bumgarner threw 20 fastballs to take another step in his comeback from the injury that sidelined him since being hit in the hand by a line drive at the end of spring training.He said he's been throwing breaking pitches on flat ground but because the session was so short Monday he stuck to fastballs and was encouraged by how he felt."I could also tell the last few days last week throwing on flat ground what it was going to feel like," he said. "It wasn't like I was surprised I felt good because I've been feeling good the whole time. It's hard to find the happy medium and try not to ramp it up too fast and then cause a setback in your arm getting ready and getting in shape. But it's hard also to hold it back.
