Canning suffered the ailment when, after surrendering a batted ball to Atlanta shortstop Nick Allen, he attempted to change directions on the mound so that he could back up third base. He subsequently went down before being aided off the field by the Mets training staff.

After the Mets' bullpen was pressed into action early with Griffin Canning's left leg injury, the Mets shut down the Braves in a 4-0 win on Thursday.
