Griffin Canning placed on the injured list by Mets after surgery to repair ruptured Achilles tendon
PITTSBURGH (AP) — New York Mets pitcher Griffin Canning had surgery on Friday to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon and will miss the remainder of the season and possibly part of 2026. Canning was injured during Thursday night's 4-0 win over Atlanta while coming off the mound to field a grounder. Signed to a $4.25 million, one-year contract as a free agent in the offseason, the 29-year-old right-hander was 7-3 with a 3.77 ERA in 16 starts as he bolstered an injury-depleted rotation. Canning has had a turnaround season. Last year, with the Los Angeles Angels, he went 6-13 with a 5.19 ERA in 32 games. 'He is a guy that had a hard year last year and put in a lot of work in the offseason,' Mendoza said. 'We signed him, and he was very open to the information and the feedback and everything we had to offer. And for him to not just take the information but actually going out there and executing and having the year that he had, he was pretty consistent for us.' Third baseman Mark Vientos was reinstated from the 10-day injured list before Friday's series opener at Pittsburgh, left-handed reliever Colin Poche's contract was selected from Triple-A Syracuse and right-hander Blake Tidwell was recalled from Triple-A. Right-hander Austin Warren and infielder Jared Young were optioned to Triple-A. Tidwell will take Canning's place in the rotation for at least one turn. The rookie is expected to start next Wednesday in Milwaukee, though Mendoza would not commit to the 24-year-old beyond that start. Tidwell made his major-league debut on May 4 and went 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA in two starts. He pitched in 13 games with Syracuse and had a 4-4 record and 4.76 ERA. Vientos had been out since June 3 with a right hamstring strain. He is hitting .230 with six home runs in 51 games after belting 27 home runs last season and five more in the postseason as the Mets reached the National League Championship Series before losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brent Baty had been getting most of the starts at third base while Vientos was sidelined. The Mets also decided to keep infielder Ronny Mauricio, a rookie hitting .226 with three homers in 18 games. Mauricio is ranked as the Mets' fourth-best prospect by Baseball America. 'Mauricio can provide some versatility, and I like the way he has been playing for us of late,' Mendoza said. 'We feel there are going to be enough at-bats for him here to keep him on the roster.' Poche, 31, began the season with Washington but was released on May 5 after having an 11.42 ERA in 13 relief appearances. The Mets signed him two days later, and his ERA was 7.11 in 12 games at Syracuse. ___

Mets' Griffin Canning injures left ankle. Manager Carlos Mendoza says ‘it looks like an Achilles'
NEW YORK — The New York Mets' depleted pitching rotation took another hit when right-hander Griffin Canning likely suffered an Achilles injury during a non-contact play in the third inning of a 4-0 win over the Atlanta Braves. 'He's getting an MRI, we're waiting for the result — but it looks like an Achilles injury,' Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. The Mets initially said Canning suffered a left ankle injury when he was hurt while breaking toward the left side of the infield on Nick Allen's one-out grounder to shortstop. The 29-year-old Canning, who allowed one hit and struck out three, immediately began hopping on his right leg and took only a couple steps before dropping onto the field with his left leg elevated. Catcher Luis Torrens signaled for time and assistance before Allen was thrown out at first by Francisco Lindor. 'I was watching the play and before you know it, I see him on the ground,' Mendoza said. 'Not a good feeling there.' Canning covered his face with his hands as he was tended to by trainers. Mendoza and Mets infielders gathered around the pitcher as the Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr., the on-deck hitter, watched from a few steps behind. After a couple minutes, Canning limped off the field with his arms draped around trainers. 'See him just wincing in pain and his leg in the air — for anyone to do that, when they're not getting up by themselves, it's obvious, you kind of know something's not just off but really, really wrong,' Mets first baseman Pete Alonso said. 'Hate to see it.' Austin Warren relieved Canning and retired Acuña on a pop-out, stranding White at second. Warren earned the win with 2 1/3 innings of one-hit relief. 'Adrenaline kicked in right away,' Warren said. Canning, who signed a one-year deal worth $4.25 million on Dec. 19, is 7-3 with a 3.77 ERA in 16 starts this season after going 6-13 with a 5.19 ERA for the Los Angeles Angels last season. 'Feel sorry for the guy, especially how big he's been for us and the way he's been throwing the ball the whole year,' Mendoza said. 'He's been pretty consistent.' Canning is the third member of the Mets' opening day rotation to get hurt in the last two weeks — a stretch in which New York has gone just 4-10. Ace Kodai Senga is on the injured list after suffering a right hamstring strain reaching for an Alonso throw on June 12, while Tylor Megill hasn't pitched since June 14 due to a right elbow sprain. In addition, left-hander Sean Manaea, who appeared to be nearing a return from an oblique injury suffered in spring training, was diagnosed with a bone chip in his elbow following his most recent rehab appearance for Triple-A Syracuse. Mendoza and president of baseball operations David Stearns said they hope Manaea, who received a cortisone shot, can resume his rehab. The Mets got one starter back, when Frankie Montas tossed five scoreless innings after recovering from a lat injury suffered in spring training, 'We lost two starters very quickly with Senga and Megill and here we are now with Griff going down,' Mendoza said. 'We've got some reinforcements coming back. Guys will step up.'
