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.

Canha is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Canha's playing time had been trending down heading into the All-Star break due to lingering wrist soreness and general ineffectiveness at the plate, but he picked up starts in both of the Tigers' first two games in Toronto, going 2-for-7 with a home run and two walks. He'll take a seat Sunday while the Tigers clear room in the lineup for Justyn-Henry Malloy at designated hitter and Bligh Madris at first base, but manager A.J. Hinch hasn't seemed to cut bait with Canha as a near-everyday player just yet.

Canha (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Canha missed the last game before the All-Star break with a sore wrist but was able to return following the long layoff. The veteran outfielder hasn't really gotten going yet for the Tigers, as he's batting just .229 with a .688 OPS in his first season with the team. Last year, Canha batted .262 with a .755 OPS for the Brewers and Mets. He had an OPS of .700 or better in each of the previous six seasons, so he'll need a strong finish in 2024 to keep that streak alive.

Canha (wrist) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth in Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Canha tweaked his right wrist in the second-to-last game before the All-Star break and didn't play Sunday, but he's ready to roll after getting some rest. The 35-year-old will enter the second half having slashed just .130/.250/.167 in his last 17 games.

Canha (wrist) said Sunday that he will rest and do treatment over the All-Star break and hopes to be able to play in Detroit's first game of the second half next Friday in Toronto, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canha exited Saturday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Dodgers early due to a sore wrist and isn't in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, though Jason Beck of MLB.com notes that the veteran is available in an emergency situation. Canha doesn't look like he'll need a trip to the injured list, especially with the extra rest afforded by the All-Star break.

Canha (wrist) isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canha was removed for a pinch hitter in Saturday's contest due to a sore wrist and will begin Sunday's game on the bench. It isn't clear if he's available to pinch hit. Sunday is the final day before the All-Star break, so Canha will have an opportunity to recover before Detroit's next game Friday, July 19.
