Mets Predicted to Trade For $56 Million Pitcher After Griffin Canning Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Mets, who took the final two games of a four-game set against the Atlanta Braves to seemingly halt a bad stretch of games, got truly awful luck on Thursday.

New York Mets pitcher Griffin Canning had surgery on Friday to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon and will miss the remainder of the season and possibly part of 2026. Canning was injured during Thursday night’s 4-0 win over Atlanta while coming off the mound to field a grounder.

The Mets began the second half of their 162-game schedule Thursday night, and they did so by once again picking each other up in the face of injury.
