Canha was beat out by Andrew McCutchen for a spot on the Rangers' roster, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canha, who slashed .300/.333/.525 during Cactus League play, indicated he does not intend to go to Triple-A but will stay with the Rangers through their final exhibition game Tuesday. He will pursue another major=league job.

Canha started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's spring game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Canha, who hit safely for a fourth straight Cactus League game, seemingly has responded to the Rangers' recent signing of Andrew McCutchen. The two veterans are competing for a spot as a right-handed hitting complement to Joc Pederson at designated hitter and as a depth outfielder. Canha has more recent experience in the outfield, having started 133 games there over the past three seasons compared to McCutchen's 20.

Canha signed Sunday with the Rangers on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to major-league spring training.

EDGE Analysis

The 37-year-old first baseman/outfielder will compete for a short-side platoon role on the Opening Day roster. Before being cut loose in August, Canha saw action in 46 games for Kansas City last season, slashing .212/.272/.265 with one home run and six RBI across 125 plate appearances.

Canha was released by the Royals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Canha was designated for assignment Monday and cleared waivers. Rather than being outrighted, the Royals released Canha, and he'll now be free to pursue another opportunity around the league.

The Royals activated Canha (elbow) from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated him for assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Canha had played nine rehab games after being placed on the shelf July 8 due to left elbow epicondylitis, and though he's now back to full health, the Royals have decided that they don't have a spot for him on their active roster. The 36-year-old is likely to go unclaimed off waivers before electing free agency. Canha slashed just .212/.272/.265 in 46 contests before landing on the IL.

The Royals transferred Canha's (elbow) rehab assignment from Double-A Northwest Arkansas to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Canha appeared in three games for Northwest Arkansas, going 3-for-11 with a home run. He'll likely play in at least a couple of games for Omaha before the Royals potentially bring him back from the 10-day injured list for this weekend's series versus the White Sox.

Canha (elbow) went 1-for-2 with a hit by pitch and RBI with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Canha made his third rehab appearance with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Sunday as he works his way back from left elbow epicondylitis. He's 3-for-11 with a homer and five RBI so far during the assignment. Before landing on the injured list July 8, the veteran was batting .212/.272/.265 with just four extra-base hits and six RBI over 46 games. Canha's versatility could help him carve out at-bats, but steady playing time is unlikely with Mike Yastrzemski and Randal Grichuk joining the roster and Jac Caglianone (hamstring) nearing a return.

Canha (elbow) is expected to start a rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

EDGE Analysis

Canha will start up a rehab assignment exactly one month after being placed on the injured list with left elbow epicondylitis, or tennis elbow. It's unclear how long of an assignment Canha will require, but he should be back later this month.

Canha (elbow) is scheduled to begin a hitting progression Monday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canha was placed on the injured list July 8 due to left elbow epicondylitis. He received an injection that same day to relieve discomfort in his elbow, and he was cleared to resume throwing shortly after the All-Star break. The outfielder is now ready to take the next step in his recovery by hitting, and if all goes well, he could soon be cleared to head out on a rehab assignment.

The Royals placed Canha on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow epicondylitis.

EDGE Analysis

Epicondylitis is the formal diagnosis of "tennis elbow," and it's not clear how long the injury might sideline Canha. Cam Devanney has taken Canha's spot on the roster.
