After a trade, Braves designate Robinson Cano for assignment

Robinson Cano's 2022 carousel ride through the National League took another turn on Monday.

Cano began his third season with the New York Mets this spring. But after 41 at-bats over 12 games played, he was released in early May. After a short stint with the San Diego Padres, Cano was let go again, only to be re-signed to a minor-league deal with the club.

In early July, the eight-time All-Star was traded to the Atlanta Braves. In nine games played with the team, he went 4-for-26 with no home runs or runs batted in. Between the Mets, Padres and Braves this season, Cano has gone 15-for-100 with a single home run, 4 RBIs, while striking out 25 times.

Cano will turn 40 in October. He missed the entire 2021 campaign following his second suspension for violating MLB's performance-enhancing drugs (PED) policy.
