Starting pitcher Griffin Canning could return for the San Diego Padres in the current series against the Chicago White Sox.

Starter joins Padres next week

El Paso hosts five Padres players

After finishing with 90 wins and making the playoffs for the fourth time in six years last season, San Diego is adding three major league veterans to bolster its depth.

Former Los Angeles Angels starter Griffin Canning signed a one year deal with the San Diego Padres, with the move reported by Mark Polishuk of MLBTradeRumors.com via the Divine Sports Gospel. Canning’s deal isn’t considered official yet, as he still has to pass a physical, and the Padres have to make another move with their 40-man roster to accommodate him after signing outfielder/first baseman Nick Castellanos earlier today 

The right-handed pitcher has agreed to a deal with the Padres, according to multiple reports on Saturday.

Just days after a public split with the Philadelphia Phillies, OF/DH Nick Castellanos and the San Diego Padres reached an agreement on a free-agent contract early Saturday morning. The veteran slugger is expected to maintain his roles as a corner outfielder and designated hitter, but will see time at first base for the first time in his career after training at the position this offseason.

Former Mets right-hander Griffin Canning has reached an agreement on a deal with the Padres.

The Padres are picking up another free agent pitcher, to bolster the team's rotation in 2026. Griffin Canning pitched last for the Mets.
