Canning (3-6) took the loss after allowing five runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over two innings in Thursday's 16-inning game against the Orioles, and he won't be available to make his scheduled start Friday.
Canning threw 42 pitches during the final two innings, surrendering a game-winning home run to Jonathan Villar. The right-hander has allowed 18 runs with a 22:12 K:BB in 17.2 innings during his last five outings. Nick Tropeano is the top candidate to start Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. As of now, Canning is expected to make his following turn in the rotation.
