Canning (4-9) earned the win over Minnesota on Saturday, allowing three hits and issuing one walk while striking out one batter over 3.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.

Casey Mize started the game for San Diego but left after just 2.2 frames due to an ankle injury. Canning helped spare the Padres bullpen from exhausting its arms by covering 3.1 innings on 46 pitches (27 strikes). The veteran right-hander limited the Twins to just three hits (all singles) in his longest outing since July 18, which was when he made his final start before being moved to a bulk-relief role. Canning has been much more effective out of the bullpen, and over his past seven appearances he's logged a 3-0 record with a 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB across 13.1 innings.

Canning (3-9) earned the win Sunday against San Francisco. He allowed one run on two hits and no walks without recording a strikeout over two innings of relief.

The right-hander was the third pitcher used by San Diego, and despite covering just two innings while surrendering a solo homer to Osleivis Basabe (forearm), Canning was credited with the win. He has struggled mightily this season in both starting and relief roles, posting a 6.58 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 67:32 K:BB across 67 innings (17 appearances). The 30-year-old's spot on the roster could come into jeopardy if the Padres make any moves to bolster their pitching staff before Monday's trade deadline.

Canning is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Kyle Hart in Sunday's game against the Giants, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Canning will be available to pitch on three days' rest after he struck out four over three shutout innings of relief in his previous appearance in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Rockies. Hart tossed 2.2 innings as an opener Wednesday, and while he could work a bit deeper into Sunday's outing, he's still unlikely to reach the five innings he would need to hit to qualify for a win. As a result, Canning -- who claimed his second victory of the season Wednesday -- looks like the Padres pitcher most likely to earn a win Sunday.

Canning (2-9) earned the win Wednesday over the Rockies, allowing one hit and no walks across three scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Working in a bulk role again, Canning looked much better Wednesday, holding Colorado to a lone single en route to his second win of the season and first since June 17. It was an impressive bounce-back showing from the right-hander, who had given up nine runs (eight earned) across just 6.1 frames in his previous two appearances. Canning's ERA now sits at 6.65 on the season with a 1.57 WHIP and 67:32 K:BB across 65 innings.

Canning is slated to work as a bulk reliever in Wednesday's contest versus the Rockies at Petco Park.

Jul 29Rotowire

Left-hander Kyle Hart will work as an opener ahead of Canning, in a repeat of the arrangement the last time Canning's turn in the rotation came up Thursday in Atlanta. Canning hasn't fared well this season either as a traditional starter (6.79 ERA) or reliever (7.71 ERA), and with the trade deadline looming, his time to make a positive impression could be running out.
