Canha will be called up to replace the traded Rajai Davis, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha hit a brutal .210/.259/.410 in 34 games for the Athletics this season, and he likely isn't in the club's long-term plans. That said, Canha has experience at first base and across the outfield, and he'll give them a versatile option for the bench.

Canha was optioned back to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a short stint with the Athletics for Canha, who was called up August 2. The decision to send him down wasn't due to lack of production, as Canha had been seeing the ball well during his time with Oakland and hitting to the tune of a .313 average over five games. Regardless, the Athletics decided to stick with Matt Olson at first over Canha, who will will return to Triple-A, where he's hit .271 with four home runs this season.

Canha went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer Sunday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
There's playing time available at first base with Yonder Alonso getting shipped to Seattle, and Canha made a good case for getting more opportunities to fill that hole with this performance. He also surprisingly didn't strike out in this one, though his 34:4 K:BB in 104 plate appearances is still nothing to write home about. Canha's .414 slugging percentage is passable, but he'll need to significantly improve his .240 OBP to justify anything more than a part-time role.

Canha was brought back up to the majors prior to Wednesday's game in San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Canha has spent 29 games with the big-league team this season, hitting .191/.234/.393 with three home runs and seven RBI. He was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in early June while in the midst of a slump, but Canha's been seeing the ball much better in the minors, going 49-for-167 while slugging .545 since heading back down. He figures to provide depth in the outfield as well as first base moving forward.

Canha went 5-for-5 with four RBI from a solo home run and a three-run blast in Triple-A Nashville's win over Las Vegas on Tuesday. He also doubled and scored twice.
EDGE Analysis
Canha's jaw-dropping performance was also a record-setting one as per Sounds play-by-play announcer Jeff Hem, who noted that the outfielder 's five hits were a Nashville single-game record. The 28-year-old hit just .234 last month after some extensive struggles with the Athletics prompted a demotion on June 9, but he's now hitting .333 with four homers and 17 RBI in 21 July contests.

Canha was sent down to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha has been struggling mightily at the plate recently, going just 2-for-29 with 17 strikeouts over his past 10 games and hitting .191/.234/.393 with three home runs and seven RBI on the season. He will be replaced by Jaycob Brugman and is heading back to Nashville for the first time since early May. If Canha can rediscover his groove at the plate, he is likely to return to Oakland at some point this summer.

Canha (illness) will start in right field and bat eighth Monday against the Blue Jays, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals after experiencing symptoms of dizziness and nausea stemming from a case of the stomach flu, but a day off to recover was seemingly all that the outfielder needed. After meeting with a gastrointestinal specialist, Canha was given clearance to play, so he'll enter the lineup in place of Matt Joyce, who will hit the bench with southpaw J.A. Happ twirling for the Blue Jays.

Canha was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals with a case of the stomach flu, Joe Stiglich of NBC Sports California reports.
EDGE Analysis
Initially set to start in left field and bat eighth, Canha was pulled from the starting nine after experiencing nausea and dizziness. He's not scheduled to meet with a gastrointestinal specialist until Tuesday, so it's possible that Canha won't be available for the series opener Monday with the Blue Jays. Khris Davis was originally set to receive Sunday off, but he'll now draw into the lineup with Canha feeling ill.

Canha is out of the lineup Monday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
A day after leading off for the Athletics, Canha will head to the bench while Matt Joyce takes over in right field. As the leadoff hitter, Canha went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, so it's unlikely he sees that spot in the order too often.

Canha will start in center field and lead off for the Athletics in Sunday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will take Rajai Davis' spot in the field and the batting order in the series finale, marking his third consecutive start. Though Canha's starting opportunities have been on the rise lately, his at-bats could dwindle during the upcoming week now that Yonder Alonso (wrist) has been cleared to return to the lineup. Canha should at least see regular duties against left-handed pitching, however.
