Canha went 1-for-5 with a two-run single, an RBI fielder's choice and a run in a win over the Mariners on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha continues to make plenty of outs -- he's a miserable 3-for-25 over his last six games -- but timely hitting over the last pair of contests has led to four total RBI. The veteran is starting to accumulate some RBI production apart from what's directly stemmed from his barrage of solo homers, as prior to those most recent four RBI, he'd driven in just 15 runs despite having slugged 10 round trippers.

Canha went 2-for-6 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Mariners on Tuesday, snapping an 0-for-14 skid that had encompassed his previous four games.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran has rarely endured multi-game slumps this season, but the aforementioned four-game stretch saw eight of the 14 outs he made come via strikeouts. Tuesday's multi-hit effort keeps Canha's season slash line at a solid .251/.385/.462, and while his batting average does have plenty of room for improvement, it currently qualifies as the second highest of his last six seasons.

Canha went 3-for-3 with three singles and two walks in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old did exactly what a leadoff hitter should do -- keep the line moving. While he wasn't directly involved in any run production, Canha still put together a strong effort at the plate. The outfielder is slashing .268/.400/.497 with 10 home runs, 15 RBI, 40 runs scored and six stolen bases in 50 games this year. His career high in steals is seven, set back in 2015.

Canha went 1-for-2 with a home run and two walks in Monday's loss against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Canha extended his hitting streak to five games, and he's gone deep three times in that span. He's been a steady source of offensive numbers for the Athletics of late, hitting safely in 11 of his last 12 games with a .326 average and five homers in that stretch.

Canha (elbow) will lead off and play left field Monday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Canha missed Sunday's game against the Angels with a sore elbow, but the injury evidently wasn't a serious one. He certainly hasn't looked like he's playing through pain lately, as he's gone hitless just once in his last 11 games, posting a 1.139 OPS over that stretch.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Canha was held out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels due to a sore elbow, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Melvin opted to keep Canha on the bench after the outfielder's elbow swelled up after he was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 6-2 win. The Athletics are hopeful a day off will be enough to resolve the injury, but Canha's fantasy managers will still want to track his status heading into Oakland's three-game series with the Mariners that begins Monday.

Canha is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Canha is likely sitting due to a pre-planned maintenance day in an afternoon game after a night game. Luis Barrera will step in as the Athletics' left fielder in place of Canha, who starred in Saturday's 6-2 win by going 2-for-3 with a triple, double and two runs.

Canha went 2-for-3 with a double, triple and two runs in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Canha tripled and scored in the first before doubling and scoring in the third. His .381 on-base percentage is among the best in the league, and Canha recorded his ninth HBP, putting him in the league lead.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 8-4 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Canha hit a solo home run off Jose Quintana in the third inning Friday. The outfielder has homered in back-to-back games for the second time this season. His nine homers rank third on the Athletics and four of them have come in his last seven games. The 32-year-old is slashing .250/.374/.463 in 198 plate appearances. He leads Oakland in runs scored with 35 as the leadoff man. His six steals are one shy of tying a career high through a full season.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 8-4 loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Canha opened the scoring in the first inning with a solo shot. The 32-year-old has hit safely in eight of the last nine games with three homers, four RBI, six runs scored and a .294 batting average in that span. He's racked up eight home runs, 13 RBI, 34 runs scored and six stolen bases as Oakland's main leadoff hitter.
