The San Diego Padres signed eight-time All-Star and 2009 World Series champion Robinson Cano to a minor-league deal and assigned him to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Cano, a second baseman, will wear No. 24 for the Chihuahuas, who are at home against Albuquerque for a three-game series through Sunday. El Paso (32-25) is off Sunday and then plays six more games at home.
