2025 Fantasy Outlook
Canning's major-league career has been plagued by injuries and inconsistent performance. He pitched through some elbow irritation last season en route to a career-high 171.2 innings, but it came with a 5.19 ERA, third worst among qualified starters. Atlanta acquired him from the Angels in late October, only to non-tender him weeks later. His strikeout rate dipped to just 17.6 percent last season, by far a career low, and Canning served up 31 home runs. The right-hander is still just 28 and might be a worthwhile reclamation project. The Mets were the ones to roll the dice, signing Canning to a one-year, $4.25 million contract in December to compete for a rotation spot. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $4.25 million contract with the Mets in December of 2024. Contract includes $1 million in performance-related bonuses.
Diagnosed with ruptured Achilles
The Mets placed Canning on the 60-day injured list with a ruptured left Achilles tendon Friday.
Analysis
Canning struck out three and gave up just one hit in 2.2 innings Thursday against Atlanta before he had to be removed from the game and helped off the field. To those that saw the injury, this was the expected outcome. Canning will miss the remainder of the 2025 season and possibly even the start of the 2026 campaign, as he has a lengthy rehab ahead of him. Canning was enjoying a career season with the Mets, but it's now over with a 7-3 record, 3.77 ERA and 70:35 K:BB across 76.1 innings and 16 starts. Blade Tidwell has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
2020
2019
After missing 2022 with a lower-back stress fracture, Canning's season got off to an inauspicious start as began the campaign on the IL with a groin injury. Fortunately, he required only the minimum 15-day visit and went on to toss a career high 127 innings, starting 22 of 24 outings. He did revisit the IL in late July for a calf injury, but only missed three weeks, though it served to keep his inning in check. Considering Canning hadn't thrown a competitive pitch since 2021, his 4.32 ERA was impressive, but a 3.82 xFIP and 3.80 SIERA indicate he pitched even better. His 19.2 percent K-BB percent ranked 22nd among hurlers throwing at least 120 innings. His pitch mix was similar to before he was hurt, but his four-seamer ticked up 1-mph. Even so, Canning's swinging strike rate dropped from 2021, but his called strike rate improved. There's strikeout upside if he can induce more swinging strikes without losing any called strikes. Canning has always yielded homers at a high rate, so he's best used as a streamer, but he can be a sneaky asset if others are scared off by a seemingly high ERA.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could have played for Yankees
The Yankees had interest in signing Canning during the offseason before he agreed to a deal with the Mets, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
Analysis
It was none other than the Yankees' manager, Aaron Boone, who revealed that the club met with Canning during the offseason and explored a possible signing when he was a free agent. However, he ended up moving to another corner of the Big Apple on a one-year deal with the Mets. Canning tossed 5.1 innings of two-run ball Saturday, allowing seven hits and a walk while fanning seven in a no-decision against the Yankees. Canning has been a key rotation piece for the Mets early in 2025 with a 2.47 ERA across nine starts.
