Couple notes from ST Day 1:

• Griffin Canning is pretty much full-go at this point. He said he had a mostly normal offseason, has done a bunch of bullpens.
Said he took up pilates and will do a little less lifting in order to keep his back healthy for the season.
Canning was expected to compete for the sixth spot in the Angels' rotation last season, but setbacks from a lower-back stress fracture that popped up during the 2021 season ruined his spring and, ultimately, knocked him out for the entire season.
However, Canning has reportedly enjoyed a normal offseason and has completed several bullpen sessions.
The twenty-six-year-old is a former top prospect who has yet to truly break out at the major-league level. He's shown flashes of what was expected of him, but nothing consistent.
Overall, over his first three seasons in the majors, Canning holds a 4.73 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, with 214 strikeouts across 209.1 innings and 41 starts.
He should have a rotation spot for the upcoming season.
He is a former second-round pick by the Angels in the 2017 MLB Draft.
