Just two days after the New York Mets got one of their starting pitchers (Frankie Montas) back from injury, they lost another one to a potentially significant injury on Thursday night. Griffin Canning had to leave Thursday’s game against the Atlanta Braves in the third inning after delivering a pitch and immediately falling to the ground with a non-contact injury.
Officially the Mets are calling it an ankle injury, but whatever it is, it certainly did not look good for him or the Mets.
