The San Francisco Giants acquired outfielder Mark Canha from the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for pitching prospect Eric Silva, according to a source. Canha will essentially be a right-handed-hitting outfielder that will help replace Jorge Soler, who was dealt to the Atlanta Braves on Monday night. The 35-year-old veteran doesn't have as much raw power as Canha, though, but he could also be an option at first base for the Giants, in addition to a corner-outfield spot and designated hitter. The 10-year big-league veteran hit a very pedestrian .231/.337/.350 with a below-average .687 OPS, seven home runs, 38 RBI, four stolen bases and 42 runs scored in 93 games for Detroit before the trade. Canha will continue to have a low fantasy ceiling as he returns to the Bay Area but should play regularly for the Gigantes.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Mark Canha (wrist) is back in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the hosting Toronto Blue Jays for the start of the second half of the season, serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth against Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt. Canha missed the final game of the first half of the season on Sunday due to a right-wrist injury but healed up nicely over this week's All-Star break. The 35-year-old veteran right-handed hitter will return to a .228/334/.341 slash line with a below-average .676 OPS, six home runs, 34 RBI, four steals and 36 runs scored in 290 at-bats in his first year in Detroit. Canha has gone 5-for-22 (.227) with two doubles and two RBI in seven games in the month of July and hasn't homered since May 11.

The Detroit Tigers have no immediate plans to put first baseman/outfielder Mark Canha (wrist) on the 10-day injured list. Canha said he's going to rest and do treatment during the All-Star break next week and hopes to be a full-go on Friday for the start of the second half of the season against the Toronto Blue Jays. Wrist soreness forced Canha out of Saturday's game against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers early, and the 35-year-old veteran will not play in Sunday's series finale. His injury comes at a good time with the All-Star break coming next week, so hopefully he will not need to miss any more time beyond Sunday's game. Canha will end the first half in his first year in Motown with a .228/.334/.341 slash line, six home runs, 34 RBI, four steals and 36 runs scored in 84 games played.

Detroit Tigers outfielder/first baseman Mark Canha is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The veteran slugger will take a seat for the second time in the last three games. Possibly, Canha is dealing with a minor injury but he hasn't been great with the bat anyway. Gio Urshela will start at first base while Riley Greene and Parker Meadows cover the corner outfield spots on Friday.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Mark Canha (hip) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox and right-hander Brayan Bello, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup for the Tigers. Canha is back in the fold after missing the last two games due to a minor hip strain. The 35-year-old veteran outfielder is in the heart of Detroit's batting order against an up-and-coming Boston hurler who he has never faced in his career. Canha is returning to a modest .247/.358/.401 slash line this year with six home runs, 24 RBI, one stolen base and 27 runs scored in 182 at-bats and 52 games in his first season in the Motor City. He'll be attempting to extend his current hitting streak to seven games on Sunday. During his six-game streak, he's gone 9-for-21 (.429) with no homers, two doubles, four RBI, two walks and five strikeouts in 24 plate appearances.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Mark Canha (hip) remains out of the starting lineup again on Saturday. The 35-year-old was a late scratch on Friday and will once again be sitting out due to hip discomfort. Chris McCosky reports that there is no inclination that Canha will not go on the injured list and that the team will wait until how his hip holds up for the time being. Rookie Colt Keith will slot in as the designated hitter and bat fifth this afternoon, which opens up the keystone for Zach McKinstry, who will bat in the seven-hole. Keith is worth a look in DFS as he has posted a strong .378 AVG with two home runs in his past eleven games. He will face Red Sox right-hander Cooper Criswell who enters Saturday with a 4.19 ERA.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Mark Canha (hip) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox, This is bad timing with outfielder Kerry Carpenter (back) also sidelined currently. Hopefully this is only a minor issue, and Canha won't require a stint on the injured list. In the meantime, Andy Ibanez will replace him in the lineup, with Colt Keith serving as the designated hitter on Friday against Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Mark Canha (illness) is back in the starting lineup on Friday as the designated hitter and is batting third against the visiting Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. Canha missed two games earlier this week while battling an upper-respiratory illness, but he's obviously feeling better now and is back in there for the series opener this weekend in Detroit. The 35-year-old veteran outfielder/designated hitter is batting .248 (29-for-117) on the year with five home runs and 16 RBI in his 34 games played. Canha has had decent success against left-handed pitchers in his career and shouldn't be ignored in this one in DFS now that he's past his illness. In his 14 career at-bats against Valdez, he's hitting .286 with one RBI as well.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Mark Canha (illness) is out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians due to an upper respiratory infection. "He's not feeling well. It hasn't been a great road trip health-wise (for the team), so we're kind of quarantining him at this point to get him away from the rest of us until further notice," manager A.J. Hinch said. It will be the second straight game missed for the 35-year-old, who is hitting .248 (29-for-117) so far in 2024 with five home runs, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored for the Tigers. Check back on Friday to see if Canha is feeling good enough to play in the series opener against the Houston Astros after a scheduled off day on Thursday. Colt Keith will serve as the designated hitter and will bat fifth on Wednesday against Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Mark Canha will take a seat on Monday in the series opener against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. With Canha starting on the bench, Matt Vierling will draw into the starting lineup, playing right field and batting sixth against Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller. Vierling hasn't recorded a hit in just two career at-bats versus Keller and has just three hits in 17 at-bats (.176) with a solo home run and four strikeouts in his first six games of the season. The 35-year-old Canha should be back in Detroit's starting lineup on Tuesday after starting his first year in Detroit by going 6-for-28 (.214) with two long balls, four RBI, a stolen base, four runs scored and eight strikeouts in 36 trips to the plate over his first nine games.

The Detroit Tigers picked up the 2024 options on outfielder Mark Canha ($11.5 million) and catcher Carson Kelly ($3.5 million) on Monday. It's no surprise the Tigers picked up Canha's option after acquiring him on Saturday from the Milwaukee Brewers. The 34-year-old has a career .349 on-base percentage and hit a combined .262/.355/.400 slash line with 11 home runs, 25 doubles, a triple, 62 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 51 runs scored in 139 games with the Brewers and New York Mets in 2023. While Canha doesn't offer the most intriguing fantasy profile entering the 2024 campaign, he should have the opportunity for plenty of playing time between the outfield and designated hitter in Detroit. Kelly, 29, hit .206 (28-for-136) with two homers and 13 RBI in 50 games with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Detroit this year. He'll enter next year as the primary backup to Jake Rogers.

The Detroit Tigers acquired outfielder/first baseman Mark Canha from the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday in exchange for right-hander Blake Holub. Canha will now head to his third different team in the last year. The 34-year-old veteran began the 2023 campaign with the New York Mets, hitting .245 (63-for-257) with six homers, 29 RBI and seven stolen bases in 89 games before being traded to Milwaukee midseason. In 50 contests with the Brew Crew, he went 51-for-178 (.287) with five long balls, 33 RBI and four stolen bases. Canha will now join the Tigers and compete for playing time in the outfield with Akil Baddoo, Kerry Carpenter, Zach McKinstry and Matt Vierling. Holub, 25, had a 3.03 ERA and eight saves in 48 relief outings with Single-A Michigan and Double-A Erie in 2023.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Mark Canha (wrist) has returned to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. This is the first time that Canha has played since exiting early on Tuesday due to wrist soreness. The good news is that the MRI has ruled out any structural damage. The 34-year-old will cover right field and bat sixth versus right-hander Jake Irvin on Friday. Fantasy managers who have Canha rostered should get him back in their lineups.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Mark Canha (wrist) remains out of action on Thursday with the team taking on the visiting Miami Marlins. Canha received a cortisone injection in his sore left wrist on Wednesday and will continue to be held out until he feels better. He should be considered day-to-day for now, and the hope is that the 34-year-old will be able to return at some point this weekend for a series against the Washington Nationals. With Canha out again, third baseman Josh Donaldson is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth for the Brew Crew. Since joining Milwaukee in a midseason trade from the New York Mets, Canha has played well, going 37-for-122 (.303) with four home runs, 21 RBI and 18 runs in 36 games.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Mark Canha (wrist) left Tuesday's contest against the Miami Marlins prematurely after dealing with left wrist soreness, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Before his exit, he walked in his only plate appearance while scoring a run. The 34-year-old has been a boring fantasy option this season, split between the New York Mets and the Brewers, as he's hit .264 with 10 bombs, 46 runs, 50 RBI, and eight steals over 125 games. Only fantasy managers in the OBP leagues should be concerned with this news, considering his solid .360 OBP. Check back in for more updates.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Mark Canha is absent from Thursday's starting lineup versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 34-year-old produced the only run for his team during Wednesday's loss. This appears to be a routine rest day for the veteran outfielder. In his absence, William Contreras will serve as the designated hitter and bat second versus right-hander Lance Lynn on Thursday.

The New York Mets have traded outfielder Mark Canha to the Milwaukee Brewers ahead of the Aug. 1 MLB trade deadline. The Mets will receive 23-year-old pitching prospect Justin Jarvis in return. The 33-year-old has a club option for the 2024 season attached to him as part of the two-year, $26.5 million deal he signed with the Mets prior to the 2022 season. It's been a solid season at the plate for the veteran as Canha is hitting .245 with six homers, seven stolen bases, and a .724 OPS across 89 appearances on the campaign. The Brewers have been forced to go with a youthful outfield of late with Joey Wiemer and Sal Frelick joining Christian Yelich on the outfield grass while part-time outfielder Brian Anderson is on the injured list and Tyrone Taylor has struggled mightily since returning from a lengthy IL stint of his own. Canha should be able to provide a stabilizing veteran presence while likely starting against left-handed pitching.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to bulk up their roster as they attempt to stay on top of the NL West. That being said, the team is reportedly interested in acquiring outfielders Mark Canha and Tommy Pham from the New York Mets. The Mets are reportedly seeking lower level prospects in return for the veteran outfielders. Canha is slashing .242/.339/.379 with six home runs and 29 RBI in 72 games. Pham is doing better with a .266/.349/.464 slash line with nine home runs, 35 RBI, and 11 steals in 61 games. Both players are set to become free agents at the end of the season.

Other teams have asked the New York Mets about the availability of outfielder Mark Canha, and a possible match could be with the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners are familiar with Canha from his years in the American League West with the Oakland Athletics and pursued him in free agency two winters ago. The disappointing Mets are likely to be sellers at the Aug. 1 trade deadline. Canha hasn't been very special for fantasy managers in his second season with the Mets, as he's slashing .244/.346/.396 with six homers, 28 RBI, seven steals and 27 runs in 225 at-bats, but he'd fill a need for the Mariners the rest of the way in the outfield after they just lost Jarred Kelenic with a fractured foot.

New York Mets outfielder Mark Canha is back on the bench Wednesday night against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Touki Toussaint. The veteran went 1-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in Tuesday's 11-10 win over the White Sox but will sit on Wednesday while Jeff McNeil takes over in right field. It's been a nice season for the former Oakland Athletic as Canha is hitting .244 with six homers, seven stolen bases, a 10.5% BB%, and a .742 OPS across 79 contests, good for a healthy 111 wRC+. However, he hasn't recorded a multi-hit effort in seven straight starts and has just one such effort since June 11. His lack of impact power has kept him off the fantasy radar this season.
