GRIFFIN CANNING NEWS

Incurs setback, out for Opening Day Canning said Wednesday that he hit a snag in his recovery from a back injury a few weeks ago and won't be ready to pitch by Opening Day, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register...

Impact If healthy, Canning would have been in contention for the sixth and final spot in the Angels' rotation heading into Opening Day, but his injury leaves Reid Detmers and Jaime Barria as the primary candidates for the No. 6 role. Canning was shut down in mid-July of last season with a stress fracture in his lower back, so it's somewhat disconcerting that he's already incurred another setback leading up to the start of the 2022 campaign. Because he wasn't particularly effective in his 13 starts with the Angels last season and is now working his way back from injury, Canning seems likelier to report to Triple-A Salt Lake rather than the big club once he's back to full strength.

Done for the season Canning (back) will miss the remainder of the 2021 season with a lower back stress fracture.

Impact Canning landed on the minor-league injured list July 15. It's unclear whether he'll be ready for the start of spring training in 2022. Before being sent down in early July, the righty went 5-4 while posting a 5.60 ERA and 62:28 K:BB in 62.2 innings of work. Canning will almost certainly be placed on the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man roster spot in his absence.

Notes: Canning optioned; Ohtani vs. Red Sox ANAHEIM -- The Angels made yet another shakeup to their rotation on Saturday by optioning right-hander Griffin Canning to Triple-A Salt Lake...

JULY 4, 2021 • MLB.COM

Sent down after rough start Canning was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Impact Canning allowed six runs on six hits and two walks in 2.2 innings against the Orioles on Friday, but his demotion still comes as a slight surprise since he had posted a 2.70 ERA in 16.2 innings in his three starts leading up to Friday's rocky outing. Manager Joe Maddon said the right-hander needs to work on his fastball command in the minors and could return to the Angels if he shows improvement, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. Since the Angels have an off day Thursday, they plan to simply skip Canning's turn through the rotation ahead of the All-Star break.

The Orioles knocked him out of the game after scoring another four runs in the third, including a three-run double by Anthony Santander. Canning had allowed just five earned runs through 16.2 innings over his last three outings before Friday's rough start. His ERA shot up to 5.60 alongside a 62:28 K:BB through 62.2 innings. Canning in lined up to pitch in Seattle next week.

Thursday's start postponed Canning won't start Thursday against the Yankees after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

Impact Thursday's matchup will be made up as part of a doubleheader in August, but Canning will simply be pushed back a day to start Friday's series opener at home against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. The right-hander has posted a 2.70 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 16.2 innings across his last three outings.
