Griffin Canning struggles, Angels still triumph over Tigers

by Chris Schommer | Angels Correspondent | Sun, Jun 30th 5:52am EDT

Griffin Canning allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in Saturday's 6-5 win against the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact:

Despite the Angels clinching the win, Canning's performance was less than stellar, continuing a trend of mediocrity this season. With a season ERA now hovering around 4.71 and a WHIP of 1.33, his fantasy relevance remains questionable. His low strikeout rate of 6.1 K/9 further diminishes his appeal in categories that reward pitchers for strikeouts. Fantasy managers should consider Canning a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a streaming option when matchups are favorable. His inability to dominate on the mound could lead to more frustrating outings, impacting his win potential despite the team's overall performance.
