Mark Canha Won't Return Before All-Star Break
3 years agoOakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha (hip) will not return from the injured list until after next week's All-Star break, according to manager Bob Melvin. The A's could really use Canha back in their lineup, and hopefully he'll return on the first day of the second half of the season. The 32-year-old has been useful in all fantasy formats with his .255/.375/.450 slash line, 11 home runs, 55 runs scored, 33 RBI and seven stolen bases in 271 at-bats this season. The left-handed-hitting Seth Brown has seen an increase in playing time in Oakland's outfield with Canha on the shelf. He's hitting just .189 (31-for-164), but he does have some pop (nine home runs) as a short-term AL-only play.
