Canha, who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Mariners on Monday, is now hitting just .167 (5-for-30) with a double, two RBI, five walks, two hit-by-pitches and six runs in his last eight games.

EDGE Analysis

It's worth noting Canha has actually struck out at an appreciably lesser frequency -- 16.2 percent -- during that sample than his 20.4 percent season figure, with a .208 BABIP over that span partly to blame for his poor numbers. The veteran outfielder has salvaged his OBP during the skid by still drawing walks at an elevated 13.5 percent clip, and he should be able to emerge from his doldrums in short order if he continues to make consistent contact.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Canha continued his stellar September with yet another homer Saturday. After hitting just .158 with two home runs in August, the Oakland outfielder has already cranked four homers in September and is hitting .286 over the course of 10 games.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

After an underwhelming August, Canha has started to regain his composure at the plate by posting an eight-game hitting streak. He's gone 10-for-31 (.323) with four homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored in that stretch, with all four long balls coming in his last five contests. The 32-year-old's slash line is at .239/.365/.415 with 16 homers, 53 RBI, 81 runs scored and 12 stolen bases through 518 plate appearances overall.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 11-10 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

He took Jordan Romano deep in the ninth inning, seemingly bailing out the A's after the bullpen squandered an 8-2 lead in the eighth inning and let the Jays tie it up, but then Sergio Romo served up a walkoff shot to Marcus Semien in the ninth. Canha has gone yard three times in the last four contests to help extend his hitting streak to seven games, but despite the hot stretch he's still batting only .237 on the season with 15 homers, 12 steals, 49 RBI and 79 runs through 514 plate appearances.

Canha went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and another run scored during Thursday's win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Since losing his leadoff spot in the batting order Friday, Canha has begun heating up, collecting six hits in consecutive games, including two homers in that span. The 32-year-old was hitting sixth this time around. Overall this season, Canha has 14 homers to his name along with a .236/.363/.402 slash line.

Canha has been moved down to the seventh spot in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canha has been Oakland's primary leadoff man throughout the 2021 campaign, but a .141/.270/.212 August slash line makes it hard to leave him atop the order. Tony Kemp will start things off for the Athletics on Friday, while Starling Marte and Josh Harrison could also be candidates to leadoff going forward.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Mariners on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder extended his career-best stolen-base tally to 12 while reaching safely for the third straight game as well. Canha also snapped an ugly four-game streak of multiple strikeouts, part of a late-August skid that's seen him hit just .111 (3-for-27) over his last seven contests.

Canha will sit Friday against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Canha had started every game since returning from the injured list back in mid-July. He hasn't been at his best over that 22-game stretch, hitting a modest .222/.388/.296, though his 14:14 K:BB is an encouraging sign. Tony Kemp will be the left fielder Friday.

Canha (eye) is starting Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Canha was removed from Tuesday's win in the 10th inning due to eye irritation, but he'll start in left field and lead off Wednesday. The 32-year-old has gone 3-for-19 with a double, five runs, four walks and four strikeouts across the last five games.

Canha was removed from Tuesday's win over Cleveland with eye irritation, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canha went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts before being replaced in the outfield for the bottom of the 10th inning. The cause of the injury remains unclear, and he should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.
