Rest-of-Season Projections
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
Stifles Dodgers in victory
Canning (6-2) earned the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, pitching six scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.
ANALYSIS
Canning is in the midst of a very good campaign, but he had hit a rough patch in his previous two starts, allowing eight runs (six earned) while posting a 6:8 K:BB over 5.2 innings. The right-hander rebounded in a big way Wednesday, notching arguably his best start as a Met. Canning's seven punchouts against Los Angeles were his second most this season, and this was the first time this year he's tossed a quality start in which he allowed zero runs. The veteran hurler is on pace to record a career-best mark with a 2.90 ERA through 12 outings, and his next start is projected to be a home matchup against Washington.

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.
