Robinson Cano launched a pair of two-run homers in Saturday's win over the Blue Jays.
It was the 12th multi-homer game of his career and his second of the season. The 30-year-old is now tied for the American League lead with 12 homers. He's the cream of the crop among fantasy second baseman and could get even better as the Yankees' lineup gets healthier. May 18 - 3:50 PM

Robinson Cano - 2B - Yankees

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said Thursday that the club continues to keep in touch with Robinson Cano's representatives.

Cano left Scott Boras for Jay-Z's Roc Nation last month, with Brodie Van Wagenen from CAA handling contract negotiations. "We've had several conversations with Brodie, just as we did with Scott and a lot of it is procedural," said Steinbrenner. "But we're going to continue in the weeks to come to work through things and try to come to an agreement." Cano is due to become a free agent after the season and could command a deal approaching $200 million. Still, Steinbrenner is optimistic that they'll be able to keep him in pinstripes for life.

Robinson Cano slugged his 10th home run of the season in the Yankees' win over the Royals on Sunday.

Cano has been battling some right foot soreness for the past week but looked plenty comfortable on Sunday afternoon in Kansas City, going 2-for-4 with two RBI. He's batting .311 with a .936 OPS in 36 games.

An X-ray on Robinson Cano's right foot came back negative.

Cano fouled a ball off the foot last weekend and then aggravated the injury during this week's series against the Rockies when he was covering first base. Thankfully the ailment appears to be no big deal, so Cano will be in the lineup on Friday. "The tests were negative,’’ Cano said. "Everything is good.’’

Robinson Cano launched his eighth home run of the season as the Yankees beat the Astros 5-4 on Wednesday.

Cano got off to a slow start this year, but he has been on a tear since mid-April and should keep producing huge fantasy totals all summer. The 30-year-old second baseman boasts a .324/.375/.613 batting line and 18 RBI in 27 games this season. The Yankees are 17-10.

Robinson Cano homered and singled for the Yankees' only two hits on Monday night.

Cano is pretty close to a one-man team when he gets hot, but it wasn't enough tonight. The homer was his sixth, all of which have come in the last 12 games. He's driven in 14 runs in that span after going without an RBI in the first six games.

The name of the spokeswoman for Robinson Cano's charity was discovered in the Biogenesis documents.

The spokeswoman, Sonia Cruz, denies ever having purchased anything from the now-closed PED clinic and insisted to ESPN.com's T.J. Quinn and Mike Fish that Cano "definitely never did." The records list Cruz as owing $300 in both July and August of 2012 -- which is consistent with the monthly fee for a weight-loss regimen. Cano is not in any trouble. Neither is Cruz.

Robinson Cano went 2-for-4 including his fourth home run of the season on Tuesday.

The three-run homer gave the Yankees a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The lone remaining star in the Yankees lineup, Cano has held up his end of the bargain thus far, hitting .327 with 11 RBI.

Robinson Cano played an inning of shortstop in Saturday's loss to the Orioles.

And Francisco Cervelli played an inning of second base. It was the first time Cano had played a position other than second in his major league career. The Yankees seem unlikely to ever give him a start at short.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the MLBPA is awaiting Jay-Z's application to become a certified agent.

The application is expected to be received by Friday. Jay-Z's new company, Roc Nation Sports, lured Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano away from Scott Boras last week through a new partnership with CAA, but Brodie Van Wagenen is handling contract negotiations for the time being. It's believed that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, will have to divest his small ownership share of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team in order to become a certified agent.

Robinson Cano went 4-for-6 with a home run and five RBI in the Yankees' win against the Indians on Tuesday.

Cano, 30, also had two RBI doubles as part of his four-hit night. After a slow start, Cano is now hitting .303 with three homers and seven RBI on the young season. We expect the big things to continue for the Jay-Z client in his walk year.

Robinson Cano busted out in Monday's 11-6 win over the Indians by going 3-for-4 with two solo homers and a double.

Cano entered the day with just three hits (all singles) over his first 23 at-bats this season. Just in case there was any doubt, he's going to be just fine.

Robinson Cano will bat second in Thursday's game against the Red Sox.

The Yankees' 1-3 hitters were just 2-for-23 in the first two games of the series, so Joe Girardi is making some changes. Brett Gardner is leading off again Thursday, but Kevin Youkilis will move up to the No. 3 spot.

John Harper of the New York Daily News was told by a source that Robinson Cano wants to get a deal done with the Yankees "sooner rather than later."

Harper was told that Cano isn't comfortable with so much attention being focused on his impending free agency, so it's possible that a difference in philosophy is part of what caused him to dump Scott Boras and make the switch to CAA and Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports. There's been little progress in negotiations over the past couple of months, but the pace could pick up quickly now that he has new representation. The 30-year-old is currently due to hit free agency following the 2013 season.

According to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News, Robinson Cano is hiring CAA as his new representation.

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports hears that Cano left Scott Boras for CAA in part because of an affiliation with Roc Nation, an entertainment and marketing company founded by Jay-Z. However, Brodie Van Wagenen will now handle his baseball contract negotiations. The 30-year-old is just seven months away from free agency and is poised to land a huge contract, but the new affiliation could improve the Yankees' chances of getting an extension done before he reaches the open market.
