Canning (Achilles) tossed a "high-intensity" bullpen session Tuesday, and his next step could be facing hitters, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Canning continues to progress in his recovery from a torn left Achilles, though he's yet to be cleared for fielding drills. The veteran hurler is going to begin the regular season on the injured list, with late April likely the earliest feasible date for his Padres debut. San Diego's rotation is unsettled beyond the top three slots, so Canning has a good chance of getting a chance to stake his claim to a starting role once he's healthy.

Canning (Achilles) will begin the season on the injured list but "might not be there for very long," AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Recovering from a torn left Achilles, Canning said Tuesday that he feels 100 percent when throwing off the mound, but he still has some work to do in regard to the running and agility portion of his rehab. Cassavell suggests that Canning could be ready for his season debut around late April or early May, though a there's no clear timetable just yet. The right-hander held a 3.77 ERA and 70:35 K:BB across 76.1 innings for the Mets in 2025 before getting hurt. Once healthy, Canning should slot into the Padres' rotation.

Canning (Achilles) signed a one-year contract with the Padres on Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canning was on his way toward having one of the best seasons of his MLB career in 2025, posting a 3.77 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 76.1 innings before rupturing his left Achilles tendon in late June. It's unclear where the 29-year-old is in his rehab process, but when healthy, he will likely claim a spot in San Diego's rotation.

The Mets placed Canning on the 60-day injured list with a ruptured left Achilles tendon Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Canning struck out three and gave up just one hit in 2.2 innings Thursday against Atlanta before he had to be removed from the game and helped off the field. To those that saw the injury, this was the expected outcome. Canning will miss the remainder of the 2025 season and possibly even the start of the 2026 campaign, as he has a lengthy rehab ahead of him. Canning was enjoying a career season with the Mets, but it's now over with a 7-3 record, 3.77 ERA and 70:35 K:BB across 76.1 innings and 16 starts. Blade Tidwell has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said following Thursday's win over Atlanta that the organization thinks Canning hurt his Achilles, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Testing will be needed to confirm the Mets' initial assessment, but if Canning is dealing with an Achilles injury, he could be set to miss a substantial amount of time. The righty hurler had emerged as an important part of the team's rotation this season, posting a 7-3 record with a 3.77 ERA over 76.1 innings before getting hurt. Nothing is certain yet, but if Canning is dealing with a serious injury, it would deplete the Mets' rotation further -- they are already without Kodai Senga (hamstring), Sean Manaea (oblique/elbow) and Tylor Megill (elbow).

The Mets stated after Canning was pulled from Thursday's game against Atlanta in the third inning that he's dealing with a left ankle injury.

EDGE Analysis

Canning collapsed to the ground and had to be assisted off the field by trainers after stepping awkwardly on the mound having completed 2.2 frames. In addition to clarifying that the hurler's injury is to his left ankle, the Mets also stated that Canning will undergo imaging. It's not certain at this point if Canning will have to miss his next start, but it certainly is a possibility given the details of his exit.

Canning was removed from Thursday's contest against Atlanta due to an apparent left leg or foot injury, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tredinnick notes that Canning's removal came after he took an "awkward step" at the base of the mound. The right-hander had been cruising prior to departing, striking out three batters and giving up just one hit over 2.2 scoreless frames. Canning fell to the grass after getting hurt and needed help from Mets trainers to exit the field, but it will take further evaluation for the team to determine the extent of his injury.

Canning (7-3) earned the win against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Canning allowed three runs over the first two innings but mostly settled in across his final three frames before departing at 94 pitches. He helped the Mets snap a seven-game losing streak, generating an impressive 16 whiffs in a solid rebound effort after yielding six runs against the Rays on Sunday. On the year, the 29-year-old owns a 3.91 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 67:35 K:BB across 73.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with Atlanta next week.

Canning (6-3) took the loss in Sunday's game against the Rays. He conceded six runs on four hits and five walks over 4.1 innings with two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not yielding an extra-base hit, Canning allowed a season-worst six earned runs mostly because he issued five free passes, also a season worst. He generated an uninspiring eight whiffs out of his 89 total pitches. After producing a 2.36 ERA across his first 42 frames, Canning sports a 6.08 ERA with a lackluster 21:17 K:BB in 26.2 innings over his last six outings. Things won't get easier for the New York right-hander, as he currently lines up to make his next start at division rival Philadelphia next weekend.

Canning didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Washington, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Canning came back to Earth on Tuesday after blanking the Dodgers over six innings in his most recent start. He tied his season high in hits and earned runs allowed, and he yielded a pair of home runs. Still, it's been a strong season for the 29-year-old, who has taken just one loss since his season debut. He has tallied a 3.22 ERA over 64.1 innings in 2025. He's slated to face the Rays on Sunday.
