Manager Bob Melvin told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Monday that Canha (wrist) has been activated from the 10-day injured list.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will assume the active roster spot of first base/designated hitter Kendrys Morales, who was designated for assignment. Now apparently healthy after logging two rehab appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas over the weekend, Canha will serve as a depth option at first base and in the outfield. Most of the starts Canha receives will likely come against left-handed pitching.

Canha (wrist) went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Triple-A Las Vegas' extra-innings loss to Salt Lake on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha is with the Aviators for what should be a short stint that will allow him to log a few at-bats before activation. The veteran's RBI double lends credence to the notion his sprained wrist is well on its way back to full strength, and he should have a chance to build on his positive performance in two additional games this weekend.

Canha (wrist) will begin a minor-league rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha took batting practice with no issues Wednesday and Thursday, clearing the way for his return to game action. The veteran outfielder will likely play in a handful of rehab games before hopefully rejoining the A's on their upcoming nine-game road trip, which begins Monday in Seattle.

Canha (wrist) took batting practice Wednesday and could start a rehab assignment over the weekend, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha also expects to take batting practice Thursday. If both sessions go off without setbacks, the veteran would likely play in a handful of minor-league games before rejoining the team on a nine-game road trip that begins Monday in Seattle.

Canha was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right wrist Monday.

Canha suffered the injured Sunday against the Blue Jays. It's not clear how much time he'll miss, but he'll be out until May 9 at the earliest. Ryan Buchter was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Canha was removed from Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to a right wrist sprain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha's wrist injury could be serious enough to send him to the 10-day injured list, but Oakland likely won't make a move until re-evaluating him Monday morning. He hasn't found his groove at the plate through the first month of the season, hitting .216 with two homers and four RBI over 17 games.

Canha went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs in a loss to the Orioles on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha launched his second home run of the season in the fifth, an impressive 436-foot shot to left center. The veteran continues to split time between first base and the outfield, and he's now hit safely in each of his last three starts. Canha has also displayed improved plate discipline, albeit over a small sample, thus far this season. The 30-year-old has already drawn eight walks over his first 27 plate appearances, leading to an early near-three-percent drop in strikeout rate from last season (18.5 percent, compared to 21.4 percent in 2018).

Canha went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in a win over the Angels on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha drew the start in center field while Kendrys Morales handled first-base duties, although Canha is slated to see a fair share of time in the latter spot as well. Canha's round tripper was his first of the new season, and he should be set for fairly regular playing time for the foreseeable future during Matt Olson's (hand) extended absence.
