The New York Mets are grappling with a severe injury crisis in their starting rotation, intensifying after Griffin Canning suffered a suspected ruptured Achilles tendon during a game against Atlanta. Following Canning's distressing fall while pitching, the team secured a 4-0 victory, utilizing four relievers. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed the injury's severity, marking Canning as the sixth starting pitcher to face injury this season. His abrupt exit not only impacts the current game but reflects ongoing struggles for the Mets as they fight through a challenging midseason.
Losing members of the starting rotation is now an epidemic for the Mets, with Griffin Canning the latest casualty suffering a likely ruptured Achilles tendon.
It just came out of nowhere. He’s been having a great year, with a new team, in a new city, and to have his season end like that is very, very unfortunate.
Canning’s condition underscores a larger problem for the Mets, as he becomes their sixth starter to land on the IL since spring training.
It sucks. You hate to see it, especially when a player's season is cut short under such unfortunate circumstances.
