The Red Sox have asked about Canha, but were rebuffed by the Athletics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox are poking around for outfield help, given the struggles of Jackie Bradley (.189) this season, and identified Canha as a possible target. There's a chance the two sides could revisit things next month, but the A's are said to be looking for starting pitching, a scarce commodity in Boston's minor league system.

Canha went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a sac fly, and a walk in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Canha brought in Matt Olson with the sac fly in the second before drilling a shot off Carlos Rodon in the fifth. The California native is slashing .253/.325/.468 with 27 RBI and 21 extra-base hits in 190 at-bats.

Canha went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Padres on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder squared up on his ninth round tripper of the season in the third, the first of two blasts for the Athletics during the frame. Canha's bat has been hot over the last three games in particular, as he's 5-for-12 with two homers, four RBI and a pair of walks over that stretch.

Canha, who went 2-for-3 with a walk in a win over the Padres on Tuesday, is hitting .317 in June after posting a .183 average over 90 plate appearances in May.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder's season average had seen precipitous 78-point drop to .231 due to his May slump, but it's back up to .250 as a result of his recent success. Canha has gone deep only once during the current month, but he's actually boosted his hard contact rate from May's 33.9 percent figure to 41.2 percent over his 48 June plate appearances. Canha's 175 at-bats exceed all but the amount he logged during his rookie 2015 campaign, and he's already halfway to the career-high 16 home runs he managed that season over 485 plate appearances.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI Sunday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Canha took left-hander Andrew Heaney deep in the first inning for his eighth home run of the season. He has hit lefties very well this season -- he entered Sunday's game slugging .569 against them in 65 at-bats -- with six of his eight home runs coming against them. That has lifted his slugging percentage to a decent .442 mark, though this was his first homer since May 25.

Canha went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha was sporting an impressive .339 average following another 3-for-4 performance back on May 2, but an 11-for-75 slump over his subsequent 22 games had led to a 108- point drop in that figure by month's end. However, Canha has been showing signs of life again since the calendar flipped to June, as factoring in Wednesday's production, he's hitting a red-hot .429 over his first five games of the month. The outfielder's .250 average and .311 on-base percentage have plenty of room for improvement, but Canha has generated a serviceable .446 slugging percentage largely on the strength of 15 extra-base hits (eight doubles, seven home runs).

Canha went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha's 376-foot shot to left in the third ended up representing the only run of the night for the Athletics. After a hot start to the season that saw his average as high as .339 on May 2, the outfielder has slashed just .164/.215/.328 over the 65 plate appearances encompassing the subsequent 17 games.

Canha went 2-for-3 with a double and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha broke out of a 1-for-16 slump that encompassed the last four games. The 29-year-old outfielder has considerably slowed down in May after hitting .308 in April, but his season line remains a solid .261/.317/.486 over 120 plate appearances.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha's eighth-inning two-bagger gave the Athletics some valuable breathing room by extending their lead to 5-2. The 29-year-old outfielder's four hits over the last four games have been especially timely, as they've yielded five RBI overall. Factoring in Tuesday's production, Canha continues to sport a career-high slugging percentage (.510) largely on the strength of 12 extra-base hits (six doubles, six home runs).

Canha went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Yankees on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha launched an ultimately meaningless solo shot in the ninth off Chasen Shreve, his first round tripper since May 2. The blast extended the 29-year-old's hitting streak to three games, and he's now reached safely in six straight contests overall.
