Fair enough.
All were completely rested and healthy, Cano does show as being "cold".
Cano, listed as a 2B, is currently rated only as a 1B, yet still has error and arm ratings above average (6 on a 10 scale) and a range of 3. He has played 14 games (111 innings) at 2B, 12 of which were starts.
Wong, at age 26, carries an overall rating of 8 at 2B (infield range 8, error 8, arm 6, dp 6) and an overall SS of 2 due to a carreer total of 58 innings at SS.
Molina, at age 35, made his first career appearance at SS in the game referenced, as such has no rating at SS. His player page has him for infield range 2, error and arm 4 each and dp at 2.
All of which I believe to be irrelevant, sorry. Ones and zero's or not, the game should be able to differentiate between Cano as a middle infielder and Molina. Certainly we can take this further if we want and question the entire composition of the roster, the AI's ability to properly build a group with adequate depth, but I don't really see that here. The info above clearly shows that Cano's been playing some 2B, and the eyeball test easily shows that the proper sub should have been Cano, or perhaps anyone other than a 34 year old C who's never played an inning at the position in his entire major league career.
