Canha (back) went 1-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Mariners on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha had been a late scratch Saturday with back tightness, but the veteran was right back in action Sunday. The 30-year-old heads into the All-Star break with an eight-game on-base streak, but he's seen a 15-point drop in his season average to .233 since June 9 by going just 12-for-58 over his last 19 games.

Canha (back) will start in right field and bat fifth Sunday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Canha was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's 6-3 loss after he complained of back tightness. As manager Bob Melvin insinuated, Canha's injury proved to be only a minor concern, so the 30-year-old will re-enter the starting nine for the Athletics' final game before the All-Star break.

Canha was scratched from the lineup Saturday against the Mariners with back tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury appears to be minor as manager Bob Melvin indicated he hopes Canha returns to the lineup Sunday, per Slusser. Jurickson Profar enters the lineup in left field, with Chad Pinder sliding over to right.

Canha went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs in a win over the Twins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha gave the Athletics some key breathing room in the seventh inning with a 422-foot shot to left that extended their lead to two runs, ultimately their final margin of victory. The veteran has picked up steam at the plate over the last six games, a stretch during which he's 6-for-19 with a double, two homers, three RBI, five walks and seven runs across 25 plate appearances.

Canha will serve as the Athletics' designated hitter and will bat cleanup Sunday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will be replacing Khris Davis (hand) in the series finale, marking his fifth start in a row. While Davis could rejoin the lineup as soon as Tuesday against the Twins, Canha could stick in the starting nine in the outfield. Stephen Piscotty (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, leaving the team without one of its everyday players through at least the All-Star break.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, three runs scored and a walk in Friday's 7-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Canha scored on homers by Matt Olson in the first and third innings before taking Angels reliever Luke Bard deep himself in the seventh inning. The utilityman has found playing time somewhat inconsistent, playing in 51 games with 11 homers, 21 RBI and 30 runs scored. He's never hit for a high average, but a .368 on-base percentage and a .525 slugging percentage have been enough to keep him in the lineup as a power option for the homer-happy Athletics.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-1 loss to the Rangers during the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
After chipping in a double in the matinee, Canha is now hitting .319 (15-for-47) over his last 15 games with five homers and nine RBI. The veteran utility player has seen action at first base, DH and all three outfield spots this season, and he should continue to draw somewhat consistent playing time thanks to a .248/.380/.571 slash line -- the OBP and SLG both career highs -- that includes 10 home runs in 39 contests.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Rangers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The versatile Canha drew the start in center field in place of Ramon Laureano and delivered at the plate for the second time in as many nights. Canha was on base four times Thursday, and his multi-hit effort Friday makes him 3-for-7 with three walks and two runs over his current two-start stint.
