Cano, who in addition to the 31 next month, is in the lineup Thursday night, playing second base and hit in the No. 3 local customs against Rays. He went 0 - in order - 3 with a walk in a 4-0 loss.

" This could be the last game multiple individuals ' here, " Joe Girardi said when asked regarding the possibility of this being the last game in pinstripes home Cano. " There is no one knows what will happen at the end of the season, and there is no guarantee who will be in here next year, so very, very likely could.
