New York Mets pitcher Griffin Canning was placed on the 60-day injury list on Friday and is expected to miss the rest of the 2025MLB season after rupturing his left Achilles tendon on Thursday, June 26.
Canning had surgery to repair the tendon and the recovery process may cause Canning to miss the 2026 season.
Canning is the third pitcher on the Mets' Opening Day rotation to get hurt in the past two weeks. Kodai Senga was placed on the injured list after suffering a right hamstring strain on June 12, while Tylor Megill hasn't pitched since June 14 because of a right elbow sprain. The Mets have gone just 4-10 since those injuries.
Meanwhile, left-hander Sean Manaea, who seemed close to returning from an oblique injury suffered in spring training, was diagnosed with a bone chip in his elbow after his most recent rehab appearance in Syracuse (AAA).
Canning was injured while coming off the mound to field a ground ball during the 4-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
The 29-year-old signed a one-year contract worth $4.25 million as a free agent during the offseason.
He was 7-3 with a 3.77 ERA in 16 starts this season. Canning has pitched 76.1 innings this season.
He spent the first six years of his career with the Los Angeles Angels but did not play in 2022 due to injury. He went 25-34 in 94 starts for the Angels with a 4.78 ERA.
