Canha went 2-for-5 with a two-run single in an extra-innings loss to the Yankees on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old continued to deliver against Yankees pitching, with Saturday's production making him 3-for-8 with a double, two RBI, two walks and two runs in the first two games of the series. The veteran is parlaying consistent playing time into the best production since his rookie 2015 season, as his line sits at a solid .284/.344/.511 over 96 plate appearances. Moreover, his five home runs match the total he generated last season over 187 trips to the plate, while the two runs he drove in Saturday vaulted him over his 2017 total of 14.

Canha went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and two runs in a win over the Yankees on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha provided plenty of production out of the bottom of the order, displaying the type of plate discipline that he's increasingly made his norm this season. The 29-year-old is sporting a career-best 8.8 percent walk rate and .341 OBP, numbers that while not elite, represent a marked improvement from his previous metrics in those categories. Moreover, Canha is complementing his boost in efficiency with improved power, as evidenced by new high-water marks in ISO (.241) and slugging percentage (.518).

Canha is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will head to the bench for what appears to be a regular day off after starting seven straight games. The 29-year-old has done well filling in for Boot Powell (knee) in center field, slashing .278/.321/.519 through 22 games. Chad Pinder will start in center field in his stead Tuesday, hitting seventh.

Canha went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Mariners on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha turned on an Edwin Diaz pitch to lead off the visitors' half of the ninth, launching it 384 feet to left to snap a 2-2 tie. The blast ended up being the difference in the game and was the 29-year-old's third round tripper over the last six games. Canha's line is up to a blistering .339/.391/.644 over 64 plate appearances, with an unsustainable .375 BABIP and eight-point drop in strikeout rate (29.9 percent to 21.9 percent) from last season both playing a prominent role in his early success.

Canha is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha has maintained a .953 OPS across 56 plate appearances since being promoted earlier this month, allowing him to emerge as the Athletics' primary center fielder while Boog Powell (knee) has been on the disabled list. It appears Canha's absence Sunday is merely for rest purposes, allowing manager Bob Melvin to get a look at Chad Pinder in center field.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer Friday in a win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Canha's homer came off starter Dallas Keuchel in the seventh inning, and was the 29-year-old's fourth home run of the year. Canha had a nice eight-game hitting streak snapped on Wednesday, and with Friday's hit his average now sits at .306 on the season. He has 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 14 games, and has assumed regular playing time with the absence of Boog Powell.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The sixth-inning shot got the scoring started, and ultimately proved to be the difference in the 3-2 win. The 29-year-old has been red-hot since being called up from the minors, slashing .341/.400/.634 and riding an eight-game hitting streak.

Canha went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two walks in an extra-inning win over the White Sox on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha's second homer of the season actually kickstarted what would end up being a rally from an early 6-1 deficit. The 29-year-old has a modest three-game hitting streak going, and he's now hit safely in five of his last six games overall.

Canha went 3-for-4 with a two-run single, a double and three runs in a 10-2 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Canha's first three-hit effort of the season came in his third consecutive start and pushed his average to an impressive .368. The 29-year-old outfielder is currently helping fill in for the sidelined Boog Powell (knee) in center field, and his hot hitting in the early going is certainly making a strong case for continued playing time.
