Griffin Canning delivers, but Angels fall short

Griffin Canning tossed a solid outing, allowing zero earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 5 2/3 innings in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the strong performance, Canning's season has been less than stellar, marked by a high 5.75 ERA and a modest 6.4 K/9 across eight starts. This outing, however, could be a sign of turning things around, especially considering his ability to limit the Royals to just three hits. His 1.35 WHIP and 5.08 FIP suggest there's still a lot of room for improvement, but performances like this one might hint at a potential upward trend. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Canning, as consistency in upcoming starts could make him a viable streaming option or even a regular in deeper leagues.

Griffin Canning throws six strong Sunday

Griffin Canning allowed two runs on four hits over six innings with five strikeouts and one walk on Sunday against the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

Canning posted one of his best performances of the season, holding Cleveland off the board until a single and home run by Jose Ramirez in the sixth inning. He still has a 6.69 ERA on the season despite his strong start on Sunday.

Griffin Canning Struggles, Angels Still Triumph Over Phillies

Griffin Canning had a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on three hits and five walks while striking out only one over five innings in Monday's 6-5 win against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the Angels clinching a narrow victory, Canning's performance did little to reassure fantasy managers. His season ERA ballooned to 7.45, and a WHIP of 1.55 with a declining strikeout rate (6.5 K/9) signals ongoing struggles. The high number of walks in this game further exemplifies his lack of control this season, making him a risky play in all fantasy formats.

Griffin Canning Secures Win Despite Rocky Start

Griffin Canning allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Despite notching a win, Canning's performance was far from reassuring, continuing a trend of mediocrity this season. With a bloated ERA now slightly improved to 7.50 and a WHIP that remains high at 1.54, his fantasy value is shaky at best.

Griffin Canning Struggles Continue, Angels Fall to Rays

Griffin Canning pitched 5.1 innings, gave up two runs, four hits, and one walk with four strikeouts as the Angels were edged by the Rays 2-1 on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

He pitched 5.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four. Despite a slightly better outing in terms of runs allowed, Canning's season continues to be troubling with a ballooning 8.05 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP through his first five starts. His strikeout rate remains mediocre at 7.6 K/9, and while his FIP at 6.04 suggests some bad luck, it's still far from promising. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Canning in their rotations, as his performance offers little in terms of reliability or upside at this stage.
