Blade Tidwell expected to join Mets for Pirates series: report
The Mets are going to look to their farm system to find an arm to replace Griffin Canning.
According to The Athletic's Will Sammon, the Mets are expected to call up Blade Tidwell on Friday. Sammon notes that Tidwell was slated to start Thursday's game for Triple-A Syracuse but the game was postponed due to rain. Tidwell will meet the team in Pittsburgh as the Mets get set for a three-game series against the Pirates. There could be other moves coming as well.

Canning left Thursday's win against the Braves with what the Mets call an ankle injury, but it's suspected the right-hander suffered an Achilles injury and they are just waiting for the results of an MRI to confirm.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game that he's confident the other pitchers in the rotation and in the minors will "step up" in Canning's absence.
'Guys will step up,' he said. 'Our mentality is what do we need to do today. I'm confident in the guys we have in that room. I'm confident that the guys who will come up are going to give us opportunities to win baseball games, and we'll continue to do so.'
Tidwell has just two big league starts with the Mets this season. He allowed six runs in 3.2 innings against the Cardinals back on May 4 and then allowed two runs in 3.2 innings in Philadelphia last weekend.
In 13 games (11 starts) with Syracuse, Tiwell has pitched to a 4-4 record and a 4.76 ERA but has 73 strikeouts over 62.1 innings pitched.

Barry Bonds will be getting a statue outside the Giants' ballpark, team CEO says
Barry Bonds will be getting a statue outside the San Francisco Giants' home stadium where he set baseball's career home run record, the team's CEO said Thursday. Giants President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Baer was asked during a radio interview about a statue for Bonds, and he responded that it was 'on the radar.' But Baer didn't have any details of when that would happen. 'Barry is certainly deserving of a statue, and I would say should be next up,' Baer said during an appearance on San Francisco's 95.7 The Game. 'We don't have the exact location and the exact date and the exact timing (…) It's coming. All I can say is it's coming.' Bonds played for San Francisco the last 15 of his 22 big league seasons, hitting 586 of his 762 homers while with the Giants from 1993-2007. He set the single-season MLB record with 73 homers in 2001, and hit his record-breaking 756th homer to pass Hank Aaron in a home game off Washington's Mike Bacsik on August 7, 2007. There are currently five statues outside Oracle Park, those of Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry and Orlando Cepeda. The Giants retired Bonds' No. 25 jersey in 2018. Bonds, a seven-time MVP and 14-time All-Star, is not in the Hall of Fame. He failed to reach the 75% threshold required during his 10 years on the Baseball Writers Association of America's Hall of Fame ballot, mostly because of steroids allegations that dogged him during his final years with the Giants. The Contemporary Player Committee also passed on electing Bonds in 2022, though the committee could reconsider Bonds' status.
