Mets Rotation Uncertain as Canning Falls Ill

Mets right-hander Griffin Canning has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Minnesota Twins due to illness, creating uncertainty in the team's rotation. Team Manager Carlos Mendoza noted that Canning's start might be delayed by a day or two depending on his recovery, leaving the Mets without a confirmed starter for Wednesday's game. The illness impacts the Mets' plans as they intended to introduce a sixth starter during their series against the Cardinals to provide Kodai Senga with extra rest. The team is considering using Justin Hagenman or possibly opting for a bullpen game if Canning is unavailable. Additionally, the Mets face roster adjustments as Jose Siri is placed on the injured list and Jeff McNeil's potential return is anticipated. The situation may lead to multiple roster changes after a stable start to the season.
