Canha is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will sit for the fourth time in five games and appears to have moved into a reserve role with Tommy Pham and Daniel Vogelbach having since re-emerged as regulars in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. The Mets should still have steady playing time available for Canha against southpaws, since the lefty-hitting Vogelbach rarely starts when the platoon advantage isn't in his favor.

Canha is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Astros, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will take a seat after he went 1-for-6 with an RBI, a run scored and two walks during the team's three-game series with St. Louis. With Pete Alonso back at first base, Canha will now compete with Tommy Pham in left field for playing time. Pham will start in left field and bat fifth in the series opener with Houston.

Canha is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will take a seat for the series finale after a stretch of four consecutive starts during which he went 5-for-14 with three doubles, a walk, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base. Mark Vientos will fill in for Canha at first base, the position that Canha has been seeing most of his playing time of late with Pete Alonso (wrist) on the shelf.

Canha went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The hit was one of only three for the Mets on the afternoon, while the steal was Canha's fourth in 57 games -- exceeding his total of three from last season in 140 games. The 34-year-old has picked up the pace at the plate, slashing .302/.423/.488 over his last 15 games with two homers, two steals, six runs and nine RBI, and in the absence of Pete Alonso (wrist) he figures to split time at first base with Mark Vientos while also seeing action in the outfield corners.

Canha went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Getting his second straight start at first base and hitting ninth, Canha broke open a 1-1 tie in the top of the seventh inning with a two-run double, his first two-bagger since May 14. The 34-year-old seems to be getting the first crack at filling in for Pete Alonso (wrist), and while he carries a career-worst .725 OPS on the season, Canha's bat has shown more life recently -- over his last 14 games he's slashing .300/.417/.500 with two homers and nine RBI.

Canha is starting at first base and batting seventh Friday versus the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will draw his second start of the season at first base Friday, earning the first shot to replace Pete Alonso (wrist) after Alonso was placed on the 10-day injured list. Canha has struggled so far in June, posting a .200 average with a solo homer, two RBI and a stolen base over 15 at-bats in five starts.

Canha isn't starting Thursday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-4 during Wednesday's contest, Canha will take a seat for the second time in the Mets' last three games. Tommy Pham will take his place in left field while batting seventh.

Canha went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Thursday's win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Canha's now homered on back-to-back days after going 19 games without a long ball. Thursday's two-run shot off Taijuan Walker would prove to be the difference in the Mets' 4-2 victory. The 34-year-old Canha is slashing .245/.330/.406 with five home runs, 18 RBI, 23 runs scored and two steals through 179 plate appearances this season.

Canha went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in a 4-1 victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Canha knocked in all four runs for New York, smashing a two-run homer in the third inning and stroking a two-run single in the fourth. The multi-hit performance was the first for the veteran since May 14, a span of 11 games. Canha had been struggling over that stretch, batting just .222 without an extra-base hit or RBI across 27 at-bats.
