Right-handed pitcher Griffin Canning threw 2.2 scoreless innings for New York before leaving with a leg injury. Relievers Austin Warren, Dedniel Nuñez, Ryne Stanek, and Edwin Diaz combined for a shutout the rest of the way.
However, manager Carlos Mendoza revealed an unfortunate update about Canning postgame, via SNY.

"We think it's an Achilles," he said. "He's getting an MRI, we're waiting for the results, but it looks like it's an Achilles injury."
Canning's season would end if the team's suspicions are true.
The veteran is the latest of a long series of pitching injuries for the Mets. Ace Kodai Senga (hamstring) hasn't played since June 12, while right-hander Tylor Megill (elbow) hasn't played since June 14. Southpaw Sean Manaea (oblique) hasn't pitched this season, and right-hander Frankie Montas made his first start of the season on Tuesday after rehabbing a lat strain.

The Los Angeles Angels selected Canning No. 47 overall in the 2017 MLB Draft. The UCLA alum made his big-league debut in April 2019 and won a Gold Glove Award in 2020.

Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte reveals what fan said to him about late mother that prompted emotional response
Arizona Diamondbacks star second baseman Ketel Marte was in tears during a pitching change in the seventh inning of the team's 4-1 win over the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field on Tuesday after an opposing fan made a comment about his late mother. Marte's mother, Elpidia Valdez, died in a car crash in the Dominican Republic in 2017. The incident resulted in the fan who made the comment being indefinitely banned from MLB ballparks, and an outpouring of support for Marte. The 31-year-old All star revealed what the fan said about his mother during an interview on "Danny Beisbol" Thursday. Marte claimed the fan yelled, "I sent your mom a text last night." Marte made the claims in Spanish, but it was translated through subtitles on the podcast. "What happened was in the seventh inning, I came to bat. I'm ready at the plate and I hear this fan shouting. He was on top of the dugout," Marte said. "He yelled at me, saying stuff about my mom. He was like, 'I sent your mom a text last night.' When everything happened with my mom, I was here in Chicago. I was in this city." He added fan behavior is "getting out of hand." MLB provided a statement addressing the incident. "We commend the White Sox for taking immediate action in removing the fan," MLB said in a statement to Fox News Digital. The Diamondbacks played the White Sox again Wednesday, and the White Sox displayed a message on their scoreboard in support of Marte in the first inning. "Baseball is Family: The White Sox community supports Ketel Marte," the message said. Diamondbacks' manager Torey Lovullo consoled the tearful Marte on the mound and put his arm around him during a pitching change in the seventh inning. "It was a terrible moment. Fans are nasty. Fans go too far," an emotional Lovullo told reporters after the game. Lovullo added that he told Marte he was not alone, and that the heckler was "an idiot." Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo called for the fan to banned after the game ended Tuesday. "That can't happen," Perdomo said. "We can't continue to do that ... here in MLB." In 52 games, the two-time All-Star has a .316 batting average with 14 home runs and 31 RBIs. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

76ers Make Likely Call on Blockbuster Paul George Trade: Report
76ers Make Likely Call on Blockbuster Paul George Trade: Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia 76ers have a big offseason ahead of them, as this past season did not go as planned. Coming in with big expectations after having a big offseason last year, injuries and more ended up dooming the team, and they finished toward the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The big three of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George barely played any games together, and that was the main problem that hurt them. Advertisement This offseason, the 76ers have the No. 3 pick in the NBA draft, and they have some decisions to make as far as what they will do. Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George warms up before a game against the Boston Celtics at Wells Fargo Streicher-Imagn Images There have also been rumors of the 76ers possibly looking to make trades, specifically centered around George. Though George did not have a productive season in his first year with the team, it seems like they are planning on keeping him, according to Marc Stein. "By simply staying at No. 3, Philadelphia would introduce an $11.1 million salary onto its books for 2025-26," Stein wrote. "So, the Sixers expect to operate near (or maybe even above) the second apron for this upcoming campaign, sources say, as they prepare to give Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey another shot to try to contend for a championship after they managed to appear in just 15 games (7-8) together this season." Advertisement It seems like the 76ers want to run it back while adding a key player in the draft, and they also want to re-sign Quentin Grimes, who was their best healthy player on the floor at the end of the season.
