DETROIT — The bruised left hand that knocked Robinson Cano out of the Yankees game Sunday will keep him out of Monday’s starting lineup.

Nick Swisher will bat fifth, and Eduardo Nunez will start at second base.

Cano didn’t speak with the media after the 5-2 victory over Toronto, getting treatment on his hand before the team departed for Michigan. X-rays were negative.

Joe Girardi and hitting coach Kevin Long both downplayed the injury, the former terming Cano day-to-day and the latter saying he expected Cano to play Monday.

Cano told the team between his second and third at-bats — in the fourth and sixth innings — about the injury, but stayed in until the eighth inning.

“He talked about it after his third at-bat that it was kind of difficult that at-bat,” said Girardi. “I asked him if he could play defense for a couple of innings. He said no problem; so when it was his turn to hit, that’s when we took him out.”

Here is the Yankees lineup for Monday’s game against the Tigers:

Jeter SS

Granderson CF

Teixeira 1B

Rodriguez 3B

Swisher RF

Posada DH

Martin C

Gardner LF

Nunez 2B

Colon P
