New York Mets starting pitcher Griffin Canning suffered a scary non-contact injury during his start against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night at Citi Field.
In the top of the third inning with one out and one runner on, Canning, facing Braves shortstop Nick Allen, delivered an 0-1 slider which resulted in a groundout out to short. But as Canning landed on the mound, his left leg seemed to awkwardly plant, and the Mets starter hobbled off the mound and dropped to the ground in the infield grass, where he laid as Mets players, manager Carlos Mendoza and team trainers surrounded him.
