Sent to Atlanta The Angels traded Canning to Atlanta on Thursday in exchange for Jorge Soler.
Impact Canning started a career-high 31 games in 2024 but struggled mightily throughout the year, turning in a 5.19 ERA and 1.40 WHIP alongside a 130:66 K:BB through 171.2 innings. Now in Atlanta, the 28-year-old righty will likely compete for a rotation spot during spring training. Otherwise, he could be moved into a multi-inning relief role.

Solid over five frames Canning did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings while striking out four.
Impact Canning gave up a leadoff knock in three of his five innings of work, including a home run to Nathaniel Lowe in the second, but the right-hander still managed to hold Texas to just two runs over that stretch while generating 10 swings and misses. It was a solid showing for Canning, who's now gone at least five frames in six of his last seven starts. However, it also marked the sixth-consecutive outing in which he's given up multiple free passes.

Coughs up four runs Canning yielded four runs on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings during a no-decision Sunday. He struck out three during the win over Houston.
Impact Canning gave up one run through four frames before serving up home runs to Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman in the fifth inning. Fortunately for Canning, the Angels' offense got hot late and he avoided taking the loss. He's allowed five home runs over his last three starts, resulting in a 7.31 ERA during that span. Canning owns a 5.56 ERA in September and a 5.24 ERA through 166.2 innings this season. His final start of the 2024 campaign is lined up to be at home against Texas next weekend.

Blanks White Sox Canning (6-13) got the win Tuesday against the White Sox after throwing six scoreless innings while allowing just three hits and two walks and striking out six.
Impact Canning bounced back in a big way after giving up a season high 10 runs (nine earned) in his previous start against the Twins. Canning played a part in handing the White Sox their 19th shutout loss of the season and it was his first time being part of a shutout win since May of 2023. Despite the dominant performance, Canning is third worst in baseball with 93 runs allowed this season, leading to a 5.16 ERA. The 28-year-old will have a much tougher test ahead of him against the Astros this weekend.

Clobbered in Minnesota Canning (5-13) took the loss Tuesday against the Twins, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
Impact The 28-year-old suffered through his roughest outing of the season, allowing a career-worst nine earned runs in this 105-pitch showing. Canning yielded three long balls, equaling a season-worst mark from a start against Boston on April 5. This also marks his third consecutive appearance with three or more walks, as Canning has generated just 15 strikeouts against 11 free passes over his last 17.1 innings. Overall, Los Angeles right-hander has now pitched to an ugly 5.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 117:59 K:BB across 156.1 innings this season. He gets some reprieve in his next start, as he's currently scheduled to face the White Sox at home next week.

Collects fifth win Canning (5-12) allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Impact Canning has issued four walks in three of his last six starts, but he was able to work through the control issues Wednesday. The lone run he surrendered was on an Andy Pages single in the seventh inning. This was Canning's sixth quality start in 28 appearances (27 starts) this season, and he's now at a 5.02 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 113:56 K:BB through 150.2 innings overall. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at Minnesota.

Gets little support in loss Canning (4-12) took the loss Wednesday, giving up three runs on five hits and four walks over five innings as the Angels fell 3-2 to the Tigers. He struck out four.
Impact The right-hander tossed only 52 of his 93 pitches for strikes, but Canning also got little help from his offense as the Halos didn't score until after he was out of the game. He also served up another homer, this one a second-inning solo shot by Spencer Torkelson, and through 144 innings this season he's been taken deep 25 times -- tied for the fifth-highest total in the majors. Canning will take a 5.19 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 106:52 K:BB into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Dodgers.

Back in starting role Wednesday Canning is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Tigers at Comerica Park.
Impact For the first time all season, Canning didn't start in his most recent appearance Thursday in Toronto, as he instead worked as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Brock Burke. Though Canning struck out six over six scoreless innings out of the bullpen Thursday, the Angels won't use an opener in front of Canning in Detroit and will instead return him to his normal starting role. Canning enters Wednesday's contest with a 4-11 record, 5.18 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 102:48 K:BB through 139 innings on the season.
