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.

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).
How did Griffin Canning's injury occur?
Canning was injured while coming off the mound to field a ground ball during the 4-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
Griffin Canning's contract
The 29-year-old signed a one-year contract worth $4.25 million as a free agent during the offseason.
