Smacks first homer Canario went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Reds.

Impact Canario was responsible for Pittsburgh's lone run off Andrew Abbott -- he led off the fifth inning with a 402-blast off the left-hander to centerfield, cutting the Pirates' deficit to 4-1. The home run was just Canario's second hit in seven games this year. The 24-year-old outfielder has displayed impressive power in the minor leagues -- he hit 37 home runs across three levels in 2022 -- though Canario's yet to get an extended run in the majors. He should get that opportunity with the Pirates.

Dropped from 40-man The Mets designated Canario for assignment Thursday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The Mets acquired Canario this offseason in a trade with the Cubs, and the 24-year-old did a nice job in spring training, logging a 1.030 OPS with three homers and eight RBI through 43 plate appearances. He'll ultimately miss the cut for New York's Opening Day roster, but his age and consistent success at the plate are sure to draw attention from other clubs on the waiver wire.

Mets acquire outfielder Alexander Canario from the Cubs for cash

Dealt to New York Canario was traded from the Cubs to the Mets in exchange for cash considerations Monday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Canario has showcased plenty of power during his time in the minors. He belted 18 home runs at Triple-A Iowa during the 2024 campaign, though he's appeared in only 21 total games in the major leagues during his professional career. Canario will be a candidate to begin the 2025 season with Triple-A Syracuse and serve as organizational outfield depth.

Removed from 40-man roster The Cubs designated Canario for assignment Thursday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Justin Turner, whose signing has been made official. Canario has an .857 OPS but a 42.2 percent strikeout rate during his brief time in the majors over the last two seasons. Strikeout issues and a lack of minor-league options could limit Canario's appeal, but the Cubs should be able to find a trade partner willing to gamble on the 24-year-old's power upside.

Getting reps at first Canario received reps at first base Tuesday as the Cubs explore their reserve options behind starter Michael Busch, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The 24-year-old has a good chance to make the Opening Day roster since he's out of minor-league options, and adding some positional versatility could help him secure a bench job. Canario has played in just 21 big-league games but has struck out 19 times in 45 plate appearances, which is consistent with his 30.4 percent strikeout rate at Triple-A Iowa last year.
