Mets Announce Roster Move After Suffering Major Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
It's only June, but the New York Mets have shown that they can thrive in the face of adversity. They are in first place despite starting pitchers Kodai Senga (hamstring), Tylor Megill (elbow), Sean Manaea (oblique), and now Griffin Canning (Achilles) all being on the IL.

The latter hurler suffered his injury in the third inning of Thursday's 4-0 win over the Atlanta Braves, and he'll miss the rest of the season. Right-hander Clay Holmes and southpaw David Peterson are currently their only healthy starters that have played the full season. Right-hander Frankie Montas made his first start of the year on Tuesday after rehabbing a lat strain.

"Griffin Canning has been placed on the 60 day IL with a ruptured Achillies and Blade Tidwell is recalled," he reported. "Also, Jared Young was optioned to Syracuse with Mark Vientos returning."

Tidwell is 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA over two starts this season. The Mets drafted the 24-year-old rookie No. 52 overall in 2022.
New York is a half-game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies atop the NL East and is 3-7 in its last two games. It will square off with a last-place Pirates team on the road over the weekend before returning home to host the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees.
Peterson (5-3, 2.98 ERA) will start on Friday for New York against Pittsburgh right-hander Mitch Keller (1-10, 4.02 ERA).
