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.

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.
