Canha is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha is in the midst of a six-game hit streak and has a .333/.417/.429 slash line during that stretch, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in San Francisco. Jeff McNeil will move out to left field while Luis Guillorme starts at the keystone.

Canha went 1-for-2 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old began the game on the bench, but after Starling Marte (neck) was forced to exit, Canha took over in left field in the bottom of the sixth inning and wound up providing a key two-run double in the top of the ninth. After a slow start to the season, he's batting .265 (9-for-34) over his last 10 games with a homer, both his steals on the year, four runs and four RBI.

Canha went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Canha scored the first run of the game and drove in runs on a single in the fifth inning and a solo homer in the seventh. He has started in all three games for the Mets so far this season, twice in left field and once as the designated hitter. Even though he's 34 years old, there might be some upside here, particularly in the power department.

Canha revealed Wednesday that he had trouble maintaining his weight last season because of gastritis, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining, a condition which made it "hard for me to get calories and be comfortable, so a lot of times I wouldn't eat very much because I was afraid of getting a stomachache," Canha said. The good news is the gastritis has subsided, allowing Canha to put some muscle back on during offseason workouts. The outfielder is hoping that the added bulk will lead to more power, with Canha having a goal of hitting 10 more home runs than the 13 he clubbed in 2022.
