NEW YORK -- Right-hander Griffin Canning left the Mets' 4-0 win over the Atlanta Braves after suffering a non-contact injury in the third inning Thursday night.
Canning will undergo imaging, and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said the team fears it is an Achilles injury.
Canning struck out three and allowed just one baserunner -- Eli White's single leading off the inning -- before he was hurt while breaking toward the left side of the infield on Nick Allen's one-out grounder to shortstop.
Canning, 29, immediately began hopping on his right leg and took only a couple of steps before dropping onto the field with his left leg elevated.
