Canha went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Padres. He was also hit by a pitch.
EDGE Analysis
Canha got beaned by Joe Musgrove in his first trip to the plate and added a single his second time around before stealing second. The theft was his sixth of the campaign and his first this month. The outfielder has now hit safely in each of his last two games but is batting just .231 (3-for-13) in September with one RBI, two walks and a stolen base.

Canha went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Canha has been mostly limited to a short-side platoon role since he was traded from the Tigers to the Giants, but he got a rare start versus a right-hander amid LaMonte Wade's slump. Since the trade, Canha has gone 13-for-47 (.277) with no home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and two doubles. He's at a .237/.340/.346 slash line with seven homers, five steals, 41 RBI, 45 runs scored and 19 doubles over 432 plate appearances this season, which has him on pace for one of the worst years of his career.

Canha went 4-for-6 with a double and two RBI Thursday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Canha made his biggest impact as a Giant, driving in two and collecting his first four-hit game since 2022 while a member of the Mets. The veteran outfielder started three of the four games in Washington and has now collected seven hits in 15 at-bats since arriving from Detroit at the trade deadline.

Canha is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha has now started just once in four games since joining the Giants after being acquired from the Tigers on Tuesday. The right-handed-hitting Canha's lone start came Friday versus Reds lefty Andrew Abbott, with the other three absences coming while the Giants have faced right-handed pitching. Canha looks like he'll have to settle for a short-side platoon role while the Giants have all their key lineup contributors at full health.

Canha isn't in the Giants' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha was traded from Detroit to San Francisco on Tuesday, but he will have to wait until Friday to make his Giants debut in Cincinnati. Marco Luciano will start as the designated hitter Wednesday while Brett Wisely starts at second base.

The Tigers traded Canha to the Giants on Tuesday in exchange for pitching prospect Eric Silva, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha is returning to the Bay Area after spending the first seven years of his career in Oakland, but this time he's bound for the other side of the Bay. He was a good bet to be dealt before the deadline, hence his omission from the starting lineup for the Tigers in Tuesday's game versus the Guardians. In July, the 35-year-old has slashed .250/.344/.385 with one home run. Canha has started 31 games at first base, 33 in the outfield and 31 as the designated hitter this season. The Giants recently parted with Jorge Soler, who started in 92 games at DH, in a trade with Atlanta, potentially opening up a path to regular playing time for Canha.

Canha is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Guardians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha is a good bet to be dealt before Tuesday's trade deadline, so it's not a surprise to see his name absent from the Tigers' lineup card. Detroit will go with Justyn-Henry Malloy in left field and Colt Keith in the designated-hitter spot.

Canha went 1-for-2 with a walk and two RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Canha batted cleanup and helped lead Detroit to a comfortable win. The veteran has been solid lately, as he's batting .310 over his last 10 games with one home run, five RBI and six runs scored. Canha is a potential trade candidate before Tuesday's deadline, as he's on the last year of his contract, and he would give a contending team a proven MLB hitter who batted .260 or better each of the last two seasons, though he's slumped a bit this year with a .233 average overall.

Canha is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will cede his spot in the lineup to Zach McKinstry, who gets the nod at third base while Matt Vierling shifts to the outfield. After going 0-for-22 over a six-game stretch from June 25 through July 2, Canha has bounced back over the ensuing three weeks, slashing .306/.390/.500 over 11 games. As a veteran on an expiring contract, Canha could be a prime candidate to get moved elsewhere ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline while the 50-53 Tigers likely find themselves in the sellers camp.

Canha went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 8-2 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Canha hasn't really gotten going this season, as he's batting just .236 overall, but he's riding a modest three-game hitting streak and he's batting .303 in July. The veteran did miss some time earlier this month due to hip and wrist issues, though he seems healthier following the All-Star break and should continue to see regular playing time for the Tigers.
