MINNEAPOLIS -- Mets right-hander Griffin Canning will not make his scheduled start against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon, the team announced Tuesday.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Canning (1-1, 4.20 ERA) was "under the weather" and that his start would be pushed back by a day or two, depending on how quickly he recovers.

The team didn't announce a new starting pitcher for Wednesday's game. The Mets still have to make a roster move to replace Jose Siri, who is headed to the injured list with a fractured tibia.
