Canning is slated to start Friday's game against the Cardinals in San Diego.

Canning will be awarded another turn through the rotation after a sharp showing in his team and season debut last Sunday. Making his first MLB appearance since June 26, 2025 with the Mets, Canning struck out seven and yielded one earned run on three hits and three walks over five innings in a no-decision against the White Sox. The Padres' rotation will get additional reinforcements next week with Lucas Giolito likely to be called up from the minors, but another steady performance Friday should put Canning in good position to maintain his spot over Walker Buehler (5.64 ERA in 30.1 innings) or Matt Waldron (7.71 ERA in 18.2 innings).
