Amazin’s ‘comfortable’ Cano will deliver batting third

The Mets played their second exhibition game of spring training 2.0 on Sunday, and for a second straight night, Robinson Cano hit third.

The 37-year-old was in the three-hole more than anywhere else in his first season in Queens and the results were not good, as Cano finished with a .633 OPS in 245 plate appearances.

Though Cano’s past history says the second baseman is a good fit for the middle of the order, his more recent results indicate otherwise.

And despite hitting third in the two games against the Yankees, Mets manager Luis Rojas said prior to Sunday’s 6-0 loss to the Yankees in The Bronx that the lineup order in the exhibition games was not necessarily indicative of what he’ll use during the regular season — but he didn’t rule it out.

“With Cano, having him in the middle of the order, we want to get as [many] atbats as we could get with him missing a little bit of camp,’’ Rojas said of Cano being absent for unspecified reasons during spring training 2.0. “His profile is to hit there in the middle. He showed up in great shape and with his bat, we all feel comfortable he will deliver for us.”

But the Mets could have other — perhaps better options — for such a valuable spot in the lineup. Jeff

McNeil led off Sunday, followed by Pete Alonso, while Yoenis Cespedes, Michael Conforto and J.D. Davis followed Cano.

“We’re playing a lot of games,’’ Rojas said. “Guys are hitting in different spots in the lineup. We’re just getting guys at-bats . ... It’s nothing in particular to do with what we do in the season. We’re not there yet.”

➤ Robert Gsellman has been limited to playing catch after battling triceps tightness, according to Rojas,

and his status for Opening Day is undetermined.

“We’ll reassess day-today,’’ Rojas said. “He’s progressing . ... We still don’t know [if he’ll be ready] for Friday.”

With Brad Brach and Jared Hughes still missing from camp, Hunter Strickland could find himself on the Opening Day roster. He was impressive Sunday, coming in with runners on second and third and no one out in the fourth and striking out

Matt Duffy and Thairo Estrada before getting Aaron Judge to pop out.

➤ Wilson Ramos was expected to start for the Mets on Sunday, but Rojas said the catcher wasn’t with the team because he was “dealing with a personal matter.”

The Mets also announced the addition of Rene Rivera to their 40man roster to add to their catching depth, along with Ramos, Tomas Nido and Ali Sanchez.
