The Braves have non-tendered Griffin Canning.

After spending six years with the Angels, the 28-year-old righty gets a fresh start in Atlanta. Canning looks poised to replace free agent Max Fried in the Braves rotation.

Griffin Canning delivered a mediocre outing in Saturday's high-scoring affair against the Rangers, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not factoring into the decision in the Angels' 9-8 loss, Canning's performance did little to reassure fantasy managers. His season-long struggles are reflected in a bloated 5.19 ERA and a WHIP of 1.40, compounded by a low strikeout rate of 6.8 K/9. Given these metrics and his unimpressive 6-13 record, Canning remains a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues. His inability to limit runs or miss bats consistently makes him a liability, and managers should consider other options with more upside or stability.

Griffin Canning delivered a gem on Tuesday, allowing no earned runs on just three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in the Angels' 5-0 win over the White Sox.

This standout performance is a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Canning, who entered the game with a bloated 5.21 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. Despite these struggles, his latest outing could provide a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers looking for late-season stability in their pitching rotation. However, given his overall season metrics, including a low 6.8 K/9 and a high 5.22 FIP, fantasy managers should remain cautious. This performance might be more of an outlier than a sign of a turnaround, so it's wise to keep expectations tempered moving forward.

Griffin Canning delivered a strong performance Wednesday, allowing just one earned run on four hits and four walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings in the Angels' 10-1 victory over the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Canning, whose ERA dipped slightly but remains over 5.00. Despite the high ERA and WHIP, this performance could be a sign of turning things around, though his season-long metrics suggest caution. His strikeout rate continues to lag, and his FIP indicates underlying issues remain. Fantasy managers should view this start as a positive step, but it's wise to keep expectations tempered given the overall season performance.
