NEW YORK — Right-hander Griffin Canning left the Mets’ 4-0 win over the Atlanta Braves after suffering a non-contact injury in the third inning Thursday night.

Canning will undergo imaging, and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said the team fears it is an Achilles injury.

Canning struck out three and allowed just one baserunner — Eli White’s single leading off the inning — before he was hurt while breaking toward the left side of the infield on Nick Allen’s one-out grounder to shortstop.

Canning, 29, immediately began hopping on his right leg and took only a couple of steps before dropping onto the field with his left leg elevated. Mets catcher Luis Torrens signaled for time and assistance before Allen was thrown out at first by Francisco Lindor.

Canning covered his face with his hands as he was tended to by trainers. Mets infielders and manager Carlos Mendoza gathered around the pitcher as the Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr., the on-deck hitter, watched from a few steps behind.

After a couple of minutes, Canning limped off the field with his arms draped around trainers. Austin Warren relieved Canning and retired Acuna on a popout, stranding White at second.

The injury to Canning, who is 7-3 with a 3.77 ERA in 16 starts this season, is the latest blow for a suddenly depleted Mets pitching staff.

Ace Kodai Senga is on the injured list after suffering a right hamstring strain reaching for a Pete Alonso throw June 12. Left-hander Sean Manaea, who appeared to be nearing a return from an oblique injury suffered in spring training, was diagnosed with a bone chip in his elbow after his most recent rehab appearance for Triple-A Syracuse last Friday.

Mendoza and president of baseball operations David Stearns said they hope Manaea, who received a cortisone shot, can resume his rehab next week.

“We’ve lost, what, this is our third one now, right?” Mendoza said. “Nobody’s going to feel sorry for us. We’ll find a way. Guys will step up”
