The right-handed pitcher reportedly has options as he attempts a comeback from a devastating injury.

The right-handed pitcher, who spent the 2025 season with the Mets, has received interest from several teams, including the White Sox,after he crumbled to the ground in discomfort during the Mets’ June 26 game against the Braves at Citi Field.

He was helped off the field by the Mets’ training staff and skipper Carlos Mendoza, who later said Canning’s recovery would take at least nine months.Toronto steakhouse offering Bo Bichette free food for life — with one big catch “It sucks. Obviously, I want to and wanted to be out there with the guys, but I just love baseball, so I think that’s probably the worst part, is I just don’t get to play for a while,” Canning said. “I think I’ll be doing some research and reading up on all the basketball players and stuff that have had this so, yeah, figure out what to do.”Canning suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles tendon in late June, a crushing blow to him and a Mets staff that was decimated by injuries in 2025.Through 16 starts, Canning sported a 7-3 record with a 3.77 ERA, inflated by a pair of rough outings in early June.
