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.

Canha went 1-for-1 with three walks and a run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha drew the start at first base over Matt Olson with southpaw Tyler Skaggs on the hill for the Angels, and he served as a thorn in the side of Angles pitching throughout the contest. The veteran had only logged a pair of pinch-hit at-bats in the first four games of June prior to Thursday, as the return of Khris Davis to the lineup following his recovery from a hip injury has served to make Canha the odd man out.

Canha is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha saw a run of eight consecutive starts come to an end in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Astros. The move to the bench coincided with Khris Davis' return from the injured list, leaving Canha without a clear path to an everyday lineup spot. Unless Davis suffers a setback with his problematic hip, Canha will probably have to settle for a short-side platoon role in the outfield, at best.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 12-7 extra-inning loss to the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old is 9-for-28 (.321) in the last eight games, but he's still only hitting .233 this season. However, owners will take that because he's also slugging .581. Canha has nine home runs in just 86 at-bats. He's also walked 15 times, giving him a healthy .368 on-base percentage. Along with those numbers, he has 17 RBI, 17 runs and a .949 OPS in 32 games.

Canha, who went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Mariners on Friday, is expected to serve as the primary designated hitter during Khris Davis' stay on the injured list due to a hip injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran has already been doing a pretty convincing Davis impression over the last several games, as he's now left the yard on five occasions over the last eight contests overall. Canha is slashing .229/.353/.600 on the season, and while he isn't likely to be as prodigious as Davis, the veteran is coming off a 2018 season in which he slugged a career-high 17 home runs.

Canha went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in a 7-2 victory against the Indians on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old is on a bit of a home-run hitting spree. He has gone deep in back-to-back games and has posted five homers since May 13. Canha is still only batting .224 but with nine extra-base hits in 67 at-bats, he's posted a .567 slugging percentage. Canha also has seven home runs, 14 RBI and 13 runs in 26 games.

Canha came off the bench Tuesday and went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in the 5-3 win over the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Canha entered the game for an injured Khris Davis (oblique) and proceeded to hit the two-run shot to right field in his first at-bat. The 30-year-old has found little consistency since coming off the injured list last week with a .227 average, but he has found his power stroke with four home runs in that stretch.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start in center field and hitting eighth, Canha took Daniel Norris deep in the fifth inning for his fifth homer of the year -- and third in four games since recovering from a wrist sprain. The veteran outfielder is now slashing .212/.354/.519 on the year through 22 games.

Canha went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Canha entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning but delivered his homer in the top of the ninth. It was his fourth home run of the season and second since being activated from the injured list Monday. He will likely continue to get most of his at-bats against left-handed pitching, serving as depth both at first base and in the outfield.

Canha went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Monday. He was also caught stealing on his one attempt.
EDGE Analysis
Canha celebrated his return from the injured list with a 364-foot shot to left in the second that opened the scoring on the night for the Athletics. The veteran's round tripper was his first since April 8 and his fourth extra-base hit of the campaign thus far.
