The Mets recalled Tidwell from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Tidwell takes the roster spot of Griffin Canning, who's been diagnosed with a ruptured left Achilles tendon and placed on the 60-day injured list. Tidwell appears to be the likeliest option to replace Canning in the rotation until the Mets get one or more of their other injured starters back. Tidwell has made two starts this season, posting a 9.82 ERA and 6:6 K:BB across 7.1 innings of work.

The Mets placed Canning on the 60-day injured list with a ruptured left Achilles tendon Friday.

Canning struck out three and gave up just one hit in 2.2 innings Thursday against Atlanta before he had to be removed from the game and helped off the field. To those that saw the injury, this was the expected outcome. Canning will miss the remainder of the 2025 season and possibly even the start of the 2026 campaign, as he has a lengthy rehab ahead of him. Canning was enjoying a career season with the Mets, but it's now over with a 7-3 record, 3.77 ERA and 70:35 K:BB across 76.1 innings and 16 starts. Blade Tidwell has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Freeland (back) has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list and will start Friday's game against the Brewers.

As expected, Freeland will return after the minimum 15 days on the injured list. The southpaw didn't go on a rehab assignment but isn't expected to be under any restrictions. Freeland owns a 5.13 ERA and a 57:15 K:BB over 14 starts for the Rockies in 2025. Anthony Molina was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

The Giants recalled Seymour from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Seymour joined the Giants' system back in 2022 via trade, and after working his way through the organization, Seymour will join San Francisco's active roster for the first time in his career. He worked exclusively as a starter at Triple-A, logging a 3.89 ERA and an 83:37 K:BB over 74 innings. While the Giants aren't in need of another starting pitcher, Seymour could replace Hayden Birdsong at the back end of the rotation if Birdsong's struggles persist.

The Mets will recall Tidwell from Triple-A Syracuse prior to Friday's game in Pittsburgh, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

He would appear set to fill the 26-man roster spot vacated by Griffin Canning, who is likely in line for an extended absence after suffering an Achilles injury in Thursday's win over Atlanta. Tidwell will be available out of the bullpen for now, but he is an option to fill Canning's rotation spot, at least until Sean Manaea (oblique/elbow) is ready.

Holmes (4-7) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings to take the loss Thursday versus the Mets.

Holmes gave up a run in each of the fourth and fifth innings. It wasn't a bad performance from the right-hander, but Atlanta's offense mustered a pitiful three hits in the game, giving Holmes no support. He's allowed 11 runs (10 earned) in 25.2 innings across his five starts in June. Overall, he's at a 3.70 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 103:42 K:BB through 90 innings over 17 appearances (16 starts) this season. Holmes is lined up to face the Angels early next week, which could be a two-start week for him.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said following Thursday's win over Atlanta that the organization believes Canning likely suffered an Achilles injury, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Testing will be needed to confirm the Mets' initial assessment, but if Canning is dealing with an Achilles injury, he could be set to miss a substantial amount of time. The righty hurler emerged as an important part of the team's rotation this season, posting a 7-3 record with a 3.77 ERA over 76.1 innings before suffering the injury. Nothing is certain yet, but if Canning is dealing with a serious injury, it would deplete the Mets' rotation further -- they are already without Kodai Senga (hamstring), Sean Manaea (oblique/elbow) and Tylor Megill (elbow).

The Mets stated after Canning was pulled from Thursday's game against Atlanta that he's dealing with a left ankle injury.

Canning collapsed to the ground and had to be assisted off the field by trainers after stepping awkwardly on the mound during the third inning. In addition to clarifying that the hurler's injury is to his left ankle, the Mets also stated that Canning will undergo imaging. It's not clear at this point if Canning will have to miss his next start, but it certainly is a possibility pending the details of his injury.

Canning was removed from Thursday's contest against Atlanta due to an apparent left leg or foot injury, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Tredinnick notes that Canning's removal came after he took an "awkward step" at the base of the mound. The right-hander had been cruising prior to his departure, striking out three batters and giving up just one hit over 2.2 scoreless frames. Canning fell to the grass after getting hurt and needed help from Mets trainers to exit the field, but it will take further evaluation for the team to determine the extent of his injury.

Pallante (5-4) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

Pallante allowed a solo homer in the second inning -- his first homer surrendered since June 3 -- and issued a bases-loaded walk in the fourth. It was a mixed outing for the 26-year-old, who generated 12 whiffs but threw just 52 strikes on 94 pitches. He'll carry a 4.43 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60:29 K:BB across 87.1 innings into a road matchup with the Pirates next week.
