Looks like short-side platoon man Canha isn't starting Monday against the Reds.
Impact Canha started in left field in the final two games of the Mets' series with Atlanta over the weekend and went 1-for-6 with a double, three RBI, a walk and a strikeout. Considering that he's on the bench against a right-hander (Justin Dunn) on Monday and has now been excluded from the starting nine four out of the past five times the Mets have faced a righty, the righty-hitting Canha looks like he'll have to settle for the short side of a platoon in the outfield with the lefty-hitting Tyler Naquin.

Not starting afternoon game Canha will sit for the afternoon portion of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta.
Impact Canha finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in five games, all of which have come against righties. Tyler Naquin starts against right-hander Jake Odorizzi in this contest, but Canha should return to left field against southpaw Max Fried in the nightcap.

Stuck on bench again Canha will sit Friday against Atlanta.
Impact The Mets' outfield got more crowded after the team added Tyler Naquin in late July, and it looks like that may be having a larger impact on Canha's playing time than previously expected. The last four games have all come against righties, and it's been Naquin to get the start in left field in three of them. Canha's .270/.366/.375 season slash line remains strong, and he's not in any sort of significant slump, but his fantasy appeal may take a hit if he continues to find himself on the bench several times a week.

On bench Thursday Canha isn't starting Thursday against Atlanta.
Impact Canha is out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Wednesday. Tyler Naquin will take his place in left field and bat seventh.

Not in Tuesday's lineup Canha is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Canha racked up five hits over the last two days, but he will be held out in favor of Tyler Naquin with the Mets loading up on left-handed hitters against Nationals righty Cory Abbott. Canha has held down an everyday role for most of the season, but with he and Naquin splitting the last four starts, it appears the Mets are giving their new acquisition a chance to show what he can do.

Steals base in three-hit game Canha went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in a 9-3 win over the Marlins on Sunday.
Impact Canha joined in on the barrage of hits which ousted Marlins starter Pablo Lopez from the game. He racked up three singles while also swiping his second base of the year. Despite not hitting for much power, Canha has performed well out of the bottom of the Mets lineup this year and is slashing .271/.368/.380 on the season for his new team.

Riding pine against righty Canha is not in Saturday's lineup against the Marlins.
Impact This will be a situation to track, as the Mets have added lefty-hitting Tyler Naquin and could still add more offensive depth before the trade deadline. The righty-hitting Canha doesn't have pronounced platoon issues, but he may start sitting or hitting lower in the lineup against righties over the rest of the season.
