New York Mets starting pitcher
Griffin Canning worked five solid innings in Arizona to earn a win in his fifth straight start. He improved to 5-1 on the season with a 2.50 ERA, 3.34 FIP, and 1.39 WHIP along with 37 strikeouts in 36 innings. Canning gave up a solo home run to
Corbin Carroll to lead off the game, but he didn't give up any more runs while finishing five innings with his hits allowed and six strikeouts. He handed over the lead to the bullpen, who barely held on to secure the 5-4 road win to start their series in Arizona. Canning will look to continue his strong start to the season and get a sixth straight win in his second start of the week, which is scheduled for Sunday in a tough matchup at home against the Cubs.

New York Mets starting pitcher
Griffin Canning continued his strong start to the season during Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. The right-hander earned his fourth win of the season as he tossed five scoreless innings in this one. He gave up four hits, walked three batters, and struck out five batters while throwing 90 pitches on Monday. It wasn't a great performance, but Canning has been a viable fantasy option lately. He has allowed one earned run or less in four of his last five starts. He'll take a 2.61 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 31/14 K/BB ratio into his next start against the St. Louis Cardinals.

New York Mets right-hander
Griffin Canning tossed a gem in a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. Canning threw six innings of one-run ball while striking out eight, walking two, and scattering three hits to earn the win. The veteran right-hander generated 16 swinging strikes in the start to improve his record to 2-1, to go along with a 3.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts over 21 innings of work. After posting a 5.19 ERA with the Los Angeles Angels last season, Canning is enjoying his move to the National League thus far. He will have a tougher test against the Philadelphia Phillies in his next start, which is set for Tuesday.

New York Mets right-hander
Griffin Canning (illness) has recovered enough to make the start in the series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. Lefty
David Peterson, right-hander
Kodai Senga and righty
Clay Holmes will follow him in the four-game series. Canning began feeling sick on Tuesday and was scratched from his originally scheduled start in Minnesota in the series finale against the Twins. The 28-year-old staying on turn in the rotation means that the Mets won't be tempted to call up top pitching prospect
Brandon Sproat to make his MLB debut this week. Due to injuries to several of New York's starting pitchers, Canning made the Mets' Opening Day rotation and has gone 1-1 with a 4.20 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB in 15 innings over three starts against the Astros, Blue Jays and Athletics. He'll be a middling deep-league streamer against St. Louis.
