OAKLAND, Calif. — If you think Royals fans were displeased at Robinson Cano for not naming Billy Butler to the AL’s Home Run Derby team last year, they aren’t going to any happier this year.

“No chance,’’ Cano said when asked if he would pick Butler, who has five homers, for this year’s competition at Citi Field.

Cano, who has 15 homers, was named AL team captain yesterday for the July 15 Home Run Derby at Citi Field.

He was roundly booed last year in Kansas City and again this season when the Yankees played three games at Kauffman Stadium.

“You’re not going to enjoy getting booed,’’ Cano said before the Yankees’ 6-4 loss to the A’s Tuesday night. “The fans don’t understand, it was tough.’’

Since Citi Field is playing host to the All-Star Game, Cano is looking forward to performing in his baseball hometown.

“It’s New York, why not?’’ Cano said.”I can’t wait for that day to happen. I will see who is leading and see who I pick. I have a month left.’’

Chris Davis’ 20 homers leads the AL, and Miguel Cabrera and Edwin Encarnacion are tied for second with 18.

Cano, who will appear in the derby for the third straight year, won it in 2011. He said he will have his father, Jose, a former big league pitcher, throw to him again.

* Manager Joe Girardi said he hopes Derek Jeter (ankle) gets cleared tomorrow to increase baseball activities. Jeter will be examined by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C.

“I think it will be but you never know,’’ Girardi said of Jeter getting favorable news.

* Kevin Youkilis returned to the lineup after missing Sunday’s game in Seattle with a stiff lower back.

“He feels great,’’ Girardi said of the third baseman, who missed a month with a lumbar strain. “It’s probably good that he got the extra day [off] built in.’’

* Aaron Judge, whom the Yankees took with the 32nd pick in last week’s draft, participated in early batting practice at the Coliseum and impressed Girardi and hitting coach Kevin Long.

“The ball jumps off his bat, a strong kid,’’ Girardi said of the 6-foot-7, 255-pound outfielder, who played at Fresno State.

Long was also impressed with the right-handed hitting Judge’s muscles.

“He has a strong swing and [when] he hits it, it stays hit,’’ Long said.

Judge was thrilled to get a call from Cano, his favorite player.

“I talked to him a few days ago. He congratulated me. I was shocked,’’ said Judge, who initially didn’t believe it was Cano on the phone. “It was awesome.”

Judge hasn’t signed, but said he is confident a deal will get done.

* Michael Pineda will make a second minor league rehab start Friday for Double-A Trenton in Altoona, Pa.

Pineda’s first start in the 30-day program was Sunday for Class-A Tampa against Lakeland. In 4 1/3 innings, the right-hander allowed two hits, an unearned run, a walk and fanned four.

The 30-day rehab assignment ends July 7. At that point Pineda has to be put on the 25-man roster or optioned to a minor league team. Of course, he also can be activated before the rehab clock expires.

* Eduardo Nunez has resumed taking dry swings in Tampa. Nunez suffered a setback late last month with a strained right oblique injury and was shut down.
