"He's getting an MRI, we're waiting for the result -- but it looks like an Achilles injury," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. The Mets initially said Canning suffered a left ankle injury when he was hurt while breaking toward the left side of the infield on Nick Allen's one-out grounder to shortstop. Canning, 29, who allowed one hit and struck out three Thursday, immediately began hopping on his right leg and took only a couple of steps before dropping onto the field with his left leg elevated. Mets right-hander Griffin Canning was helped off the field after suffering a noncontact injury Thursday night. The Mets got one starter back Tuesday, when Frankie Montas tossed five scoreless innings after recovering from a lat injury suffered in spring training.
