Canning (5-2) took the loss Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing five runs (three earned) on four hits and four walks with three strikeouts over three innings

Canning had his previous start interrupted by a third-inning rain delay and could only complete three frames in Wednesday's uninterrupted outing. The Mets' defense didn't do Canning any favors, with a pair of errors in the second inning resulting in two unearned runs. Still, Canning struggled to find the strike zone, walking four batters for a second consecutive appearance. In his last five starts, Canning has accumulated a 4.09 ERA and a 19:11 K:BB over 22.0 innings. He's set to face the Dodgers in Los Angeles next time out.

Vientos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the White Sox.

Vientos took Shane Smith yard in the second inning, plating Brandon Nimmo and Brett Baty to get the Mets on the board. The long ball was Vientos' sixth of the campaign, and his second of May. Vientos is still in the midst of a slump, as he's 5-for-28 with 11 strikeouts over his last 10 games.

Mikolas did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Orioles, allowing four runs on nine hits and no walks with three strikeouts over four innings.

Mikolas gave up three runs in the third inning and was pulled at 72 pitches after allowing another run in the fourth. Wednesday marked his shortest outing since April 6 and snapped a solid run of eight consecutive starts yielding three earned runs or fewer. The veteran owns a 3.90 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB across 55.1 innings while exceeding 80 pitches in just five of 11 starts this season. He is slated for a home matchup with the Royals next week.

Greene (4-3) was charged with the loss Wednesday against the Royals after allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out three.

After fanning a season-low two his last time out, Greene registered his second-lowest strikeout output of the year Wednesday and tied a season worst with seven hits allowed. Even so, the hard-throwing right-hander was still able to toss at least five innings while giving up two runs or fewer for the sixth time in 10 starts this year. Greene will bring an impressive 2.63 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 66:11 K:BB over 54.2 frames into his next scheduled outing versus the Brewers, who have struggled offensively with a .617 OPS through 26 games in May.

Helsley allowed two hits in a scoreless ninth inning to earn his 12th save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Orioles. He did not strike out or walk a batter

Helsley faced the top of the Orioles' order and worked around two singles to secure the victory. The 30-year-old has converted all eight of his save chances in May, though he's allowed at least one hit in eight of 10 appearances this month. On the year, he's 12-for-14 in save opportunities and owns a 3.15 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB across 20 innings.

Faucher tossed a perfect ninth inning with no strikeouts to earn the save in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Padres.

Faucher was called upon to face the top of the Padres' order and needed just eight pitches to convert his first save since April 22. With Jesus Tinoco struggling and Ronny Henriquez used in the seventh and eighth innings Wednesday, Faucher may be back in the mix for closing opportunities. He ranks second on the team with three saves and owns a 5.21 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 19 innings this season.

Sheets went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-8 loss to the Marlins.

Sheets got the scoring started with an RBI single in the first inning and later gave the Padres an 8-7 lead with a two-run home run in the seventh. The 29-year-old has been on a power binge over his last 10 games, homering five times with 11 RBI. He's been a pleasant surprise so far this season, slashing .275/.324/.509 with 11 long balls, 34 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base across 185 plate appearances.

Lopez went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Padres.

Lopez tied the game at 6-6 with a three-run homer in the fifth inning. It was the 26-year-old's first multi-hit effort since April 29, though he is currently riding a modest five-game hit streak. On the season, he's batting .239 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored and five steals across 156 plate appearances.

Ramirez went 4-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Padres.

Ramirez launched a solo home run in the third inning and later ignited the Marlins' comeback with a two-run single in the eighth that put them ahead 9-8. It was a career day for the rookie, as he set personal bests with four RBI and four hits. On the season, he's slashing an impressive .262/.318/.525 with seven homers, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, and one stolen base across 132 plate appearances.

Feyereisen cleared waivers Tuesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Feyereisen was pushed off the 40-man roster Sunday after the Dodgers signed Chris Stratton to a big-league contract, but the former will officially remain within the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Feyereisen has posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 14 innings in Triple-A this season.
