Padres vs Dodgers Pitching Matchup on Tuesday

Tuesday's pitching matchup is between two arms that have faced some struggles to start the 2026 season.

Griffin Canning, who began the year on the injured list, was one of the many under-the-radar veteran signings by president of baseball operations A.J. Preller in the offseason.

The right-hander is looking to earn his first win of the season as he enters the matchup with an 0-2 record and a 10.64 ERA across 11 innings pitched. His expected ERA of 4.41 shows he's been on the wrong end of some bad luck.

Opposite Canning is Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan, who is sporting a 4.54 ERA across 41.2 innings of work this season. He's allowed three runs over his last two starts (10.2 innings).
