Cannon completed three innings on Monday, but lower-back discomfort felt during his start against the Detroit Tigers likely contributed to him surrendering five runs on four hits and three walks. He will now undergo evaluation for the injury in the coming days, leaving his status for his scheduled outing against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday up in the air.

Jonathan Cannon allowed five earned runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings in Tuesday’s 6-4 loss to the Mets. He walked one and struck out four while giving up two home runs.

Cannon was hit hard, pushing his season ERA to 4.15 with a 1.35 WHIP through 60 2/3 innings. Though he’s shown flashes of efficiency, Tuesday marked another reminder of his volatility. His limited strikeout upside and WHIP concerns make him best suited as a streamer in favorable matchups for now.
