Blanks White Sox Canning (6-13) got the win Tuesday against the White Sox after throwing six scoreless innings while allowing just three hits and two walks and striking out six.
Impact Canning bounced back in a big way after giving up a season high 10 runs (nine earned) in his previous start against the Twins. Canning played a part in handing the White Sox their 19th shutout loss of the season and it was his first time being part of a shutout win since May of 2023. Despite the dominant performance, Canning is third worst in baseball with 93 runs allowed this season, leading to a 5.16 ERA. The 28-year-old will have a much tougher test ahead of him against the Astros this weekend.

Clobbered in Minnesota Canning (5-13) took the loss Tuesday against the Twins, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
Impact The 28-year-old suffered through his roughest outing of the season, allowing a career-worst nine earned runs in this 105-pitch showing. Canning yielded three long balls, equaling a season-worst mark from a start against Boston on April 5. This also marks his third consecutive appearance with three or more walks, as Canning has generated just 15 strikeouts against 11 free passes over his last 17.1 innings. Overall, Los Angeles right-hander has now pitched to an ugly 5.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 117:59 K:BB across 156.1 innings this season. He gets some reprieve in his next start, as he's currently scheduled to face the White Sox at home next week.

Collects fifth win Canning (5-12) allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Impact Canning has issued four walks in three of his last six starts, but he was able to work through the control issues Wednesday. The lone run he surrendered was on an Andy Pages single in the seventh inning. This was Canning's sixth quality start in 28 appearances (27 starts) this season, and he's now at a 5.02 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 113:56 K:BB through 150.2 innings overall. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at Minnesota.

Gets little support in loss Canning (4-12) took the loss Wednesday, giving up three runs on five hits and four walks over five innings as the Angels fell 3-2 to the Tigers. He struck out four.
Impact The right-hander tossed only 52 of his 93 pitches for strikes, but Canning also got little help from his offense as the Halos didn't score until after he was out of the game. He also served up another homer, this one a second-inning solo shot by Spencer Torkelson, and through 144 innings this season he's been taken deep 25 times -- tied for the fifth-highest total in the majors. Canning will take a 5.19 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 106:52 K:BB into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Dodgers.

Back in starting role Wednesday Canning is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Tigers at Comerica Park.
Impact For the first time all season, Canning didn't start in his most recent appearance Thursday in Toronto, as he instead worked as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Brock Burke. Though Canning struck out six over six scoreless innings out of the bullpen Thursday, the Angels won't use an opener in front of Canning in Detroit and will instead return him to his normal starting role. Canning enters Wednesday's contest with a 4-11 record, 5.18 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 102:48 K:BB through 139 innings on the season.

Excels in bulk relief Canning pitched six scoreless innings, giving up two hits and no walks while striking out six batters, in bulk relief against Toronto on Thursday.
Impact The Angels trailed 5-0 by the time Canning got the ball in the third inning, but the right-hander kept his club in the contest with six dominant scoreless frames. This was the first time Canning worked in any capacity other than a traditional starter this season, and he adapted well to the role in racking up 13 whiffs and throwing 54 of 74 pitches for strikes. It wouldn't be surprising if the Angels have Canning work behind an opener again in his next appearance given the results Thursday. He had been struggling with a 5.41 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 133 frames prior to the superb outing against Toronto.

Beat up in loss Canning (4-11) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.1 innings while striking out three.
Impact Canning got himself into trouble right out of the gate, allowing three consecutive hits to open the contest, including a three-run shot off the bat of Marcell Ozuna. The right-hander would surrender another run in the second, along with a second long ball in the fifth, marking the first time he's coughed up multiple homers since June 13 against the Diamondbacks. The seven runs charged to Canning on Saturday also marked a season high and he's now lost three of his last four decisions (spanning eight starts).

Impact The right-hander managed only seven swinging strikes among his 88 pitches as he let his defense do all the work, but Canning saw a potential win slip away when he got tagged for two runs in the seventh to tie the game at 4-4. It's the first time all season he'd failed to record a strikeout, and the first time he hadn't issued a free pass since April 13. Canning remains a mediocre fantasy option, posting a 6.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB through 35 innings since the beginning of July, and he lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against Atlanta.

Wins despite walking four Canning (4-10) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out eight over five innings, earning the win over the Mets on Sunday.
Impact Canning's control was lacking as he threw just 54 of 97 pitches for strikes, but he did a decent job of preventing runs. Harrison Bader and Francisco Lindor each had RBI singles in the contest. It's been up and down results for Canning recently -- this was just the fourth time in 10 starts he's allowed less than four runs, and it was his first win since June 24. The right-hander still has an ugly 5.10 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 93:47 K:BB over 121.2 innings across 23 starts this season. He could match his career high for innings pitched (127) in his next start, which is tentatively projected to be a road outing versus the Nationals.
