The New York Mets have had to navigate several pitching injuries early in the year. Frankie Montas has made a single start, Sean Manaea is yet to pitch in 2025, Kodai Senga strained his hamstring, and Tylor Megill is dealing with a sprained elbow. Their top three lefty relievers are sidelined, as is success story Max Kranick.
On Thursday against the Atlanta Braves, that injury luck grew even worse. Starting pitcher Griffin Canning left the contest with a non-contact injury in the top of the third inning, giving the Citi Field crowd pause as he was helped to the dugout.
