Griffin Canning, a key Mets pitcher, underwent surgery for a ruptured Achilles, jeopardizing the remainder of 2025 and much of 2026. Canning had shown great promise with a record of 7-3 and a 3.77 ERA after a tough previous season. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed disappointment at Canning's injury, noting his hard work and improvement. The Mets face further pitching challenges with Canning's absence, compounded by other injuries to key players Kodai Senga and Tylor Megill, placing additional pressure on the team's rotation.
"It sucks," manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday afternoon before the Mets took on the Pirates at PNC Park. "This is a guy that had a hard year last year."
Canning was one of the Mets' most consistent starters, going 7-3 with a 3.77 ERA. It was a significant improvement from 2024."
Canning's injury further complicates a dicey pitching predicament. Kodai Senga and Tylor Megill are on the injured list with a hamstring strain and elbow sprain, respectively."
