Slated for bulk relief duty Canning is in line to serve as a bulk reliever in Thursday's contest against the Blue Jays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Canning has a 9.36 ERA and has surrendered nine home runs in 123 plate appearances in the first inning this season, so the Angels are trying something new with the right-hander. He will follow opener Brock Burke.

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).

Lasts seven frames in no-decision Canning came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Nationals, giving up four runs on eight hits over seven innings. He didn't walk or strike out a batt...

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.

Lasts six innings Tuesday Canning allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Rockies.

Canning's next start is projected to be this weekend at home versus the Mets.

Rebounds with five solid frames Canning allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against Seattle on Wednesday.

Impact Canning experienced right elbow soreness in his previous start July 19, but the issue didn't cause him to miss any turns in the rotation. The right-hander didn't seem to be limited at all Wednesday, as he tossed 94 pitches and completed five frames for the first time since June 29. Canning didn't get any run support while he was in the contest and had to settle for a no-decision, but this was a good outing for him after he had given up 12 earned runs across 12 innings over his previous three starts. He's been a player to avoid in fantasy this season, posting a 5.04 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 79:41 K:BB over 110.2 innings.

Set to start Wednesday Canning (elbow) is expected to draw the start Wednesday on the road against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Canning appears to be alright after reporting that he was dealing with irritation in his right elbow in Friday's loss to the Athletics. The 28-year-old has failed to reach five innings on the mound in each of his last three starts, giving up 12 runs over 12 total frames in those outings. He'll look to get back on track against Seattle, who he threw 6.1 innings of one-run ball against June 2.

Battling elbow problems Canning said he was dealing with irritation in his right elbow when throwing his slider during Friday's loss to the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Canning only managed to get through 3.1 innings during Friday's contest, and his elbow issue may have played a factor in the six earned runs he gave up in that span. The 28-year-old noted that he's not too concerned about his elbow, though it's likely something that the Angels will want to keep an eye on leading up to his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come on Wednesday in Seattle.

Allows two runs in no-decision Canning did not factor into the decision in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings while striking out three.

Impact Canning cruised through the first four innings before failing to retire five of the first six batters he faced in the fifth, including Leody Taveras, who took the right-hander deep for a two-run shot. The 28-year-old was then relieved by Hans Crouse with one out in the frame, missing out on the chance to secure his fourth win of the season. Canning did induce 12 swings and misses on the night but has now gone just 4.1 innings in back-to-back starts while posting a 7:4 K:BB to open the month of July. He's also allowed at least one home run in six consecutive outings and has just one win since May 15 (span of 10 starts).
