Griffin Canning Expects To Start On Wednesday
5 months agoLos Angeles Angels right-hander Griffin Canning (elbow) said he's fine and is expecting to make the start on Wednesday on the road in Seattle against the division-rival Mariners. Canning was pulled from his last start early on Friday against the Oakland Athletics due to right-elbow irritation, but it looks like he'll avoid a stint on the injured list. Even though the Mariners are a decent matchup, fantasy managers won't be ecstatic to use Canning coming off an injury scare. The 28-year-old former second-round pick in 2017 out of UCLA hasn't gone more than five innings in a start since June 29 and allowed 12 earned runs on 16 hits (three homers) while walking six and striking out 10 in 12 innings in his last three starts combined. He's 3-10 with a 5.20 ERA in his 20 starts in 2024 and has a career-low 15.7% strikeout rate.
