The trade came only hours after the Mets placed infielder Nick Madrigal on the 60-day injured list. Madrigal fractured his left shoulder Sunday against the Washington Nationals. Chicago designated Canario for assignment after signing veteran infielder Justin Turner last week.
Suffering a left shoulder injury on Sunday, Madrigal was scheduled for an MRI on Monday, and the results are not great for the former Chicago White Sox prospect. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters on Monday that Madrigal suffered a fracture in his left shoulder.
New York Mets starter Sean Manaea is expected to begin the season on the injured list because of a right oblique strain.
