Canha isn't in the Brewers' lineup Friday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Canha is slashing just .176/.243/.235 through 37 plate appearances to begin his career as a Brewer, so he'll get a day off Friday to regroup. William Contreras will take over as the Brewers' designated hitter, allowing Victor Caratini to start behind the dish.

Canha was traded from the Mets to the Brewers on Monday in exchange for Justin Jarvis, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will serve as a nice platoon mate with Rowdy Tellez (finger) once Tellez gets healthy, and he could also spell Sal Frelick or Christian Yelich against particularly tough left-handed starters. Canha has gotten the bulk of his starts this season in left field and has also started double-digit games at designated hitter, first base and right field. The 34-year-old veteran has a .245/.343/.381 slash line with six home runs and seven steals in 303 plate appearances.

Canha will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Despite going hitless in the Mets' last three games to bring his batting average down to .235, Canha will stick in the lineup for the eighth time in nine contests. With Starling Marte (migraines) hitting the injured list last week, Canha looks like he'll be locked into a near-everyday role for the time being.

Canha was added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will cover right field and bat eighth in place of Starling Marte, who was scratched due to a migraine headache. It doesn't sound like Marte will be out long, though Canha has been seeing semi-regular playing time at other positions (left field, DH) as he continues to get on base at a decent clip.

Canha went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
He also got hit by a pitch. While he's no longer a regular member of the starting nine for the Mets, Canha continues to see a steady trickle of at-bats thanks to his on-base skills, and over his last 20 games he's slashing .225/.385/.375 with one of his six homers and three of his seven steals on the season.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at first base while Pete Alonso got a partial breather as the DH, Canha came through with a fourth-inning solo shot off Alex Wood before swiping third base on the front end of a surprising double steal with Brett Baty in the seventh. The homer was Canha's first since June 1, and he hit just .224 (11-for-49) through 20 games in between the long balls. On the season, the veteran outfielder is slashing .245/.337/.394 with six homers, six steals, 25 RBI and 27 runs, and it might take a Tommy Pham trade for Canha to get another chance to hold down a regular spot in the starting nine.

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 Wednesday versus the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Canha will get a breather after he went 1-for-2 with an RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 loss. Tommy Pham will replace him in left field while Daniel Vogelbach takes over at designated hitter and bats seventh in the series finale with Houston.

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.
