Eligibility
Griffin Canning delivered a solid outing in Wednesday's narrow 2-1 win over the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed just one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings. Despite the commendable performance, Canning's season has been less than stellar, marked by a high 5.04 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP across 21 starts. His 6.4 K/9 and 5.45 FIP suggest he struggles with command and efficiency, limiting his appeal in fantasy circles. While this start might give some managers a glimmer of hope, his overall metrics this season should keep expectations in check. Canning remains a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
Griffin Canning will make his next start on Wednesday against the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Canning left his last start with elbow irritation. He likely won't be on a pitch count, but he is still worth monitoring.
Griffin Canning was reportedly dealing with some elbow irritation in Friday's start.
Fantasy Impact
Canning did not get his second half started the way he wanted, surrendering six earned runs over 3 1/3 innings in Oakland. He threw 62 pitches before being lifted, and it was apparently the slider that was bothering his elbow. Canning said he is not overly concerned about the issue. For now, expect him to make his next scheduled start in Seattle on Wednesday.
Griffin Canning was roughed up, allowing six earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over just 3 1/3 innings in Friday's 13-3 loss to the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was another blow to Canning's already inflated ERA, which now balloons further beyond the 5.00 mark. His inability to work deep into games coupled with a high WHIP and low strikeout rate continues to make him a risky play in all fantasy formats. With a FIP indicating that his struggles are not just bad luck, fantasy managers might start considering other options unless Canning can turn things around dramatically.
Griffin Canning had a mediocre outing in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings. Despite the Angels' victory, Canning's performance did little to reassure fantasy managers about his reliability. His ERA and WHIP for the season remain elevated, and his low strikeout rate of 6.2 K/9 continues to limit his upside in fantasy formats. The lack of deep outings and high-quality starts this season suggests that Canning should be considered a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
