On bench Sunday Canha is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Jeff McNeil will pick up a start in left field in place of Canha, who sits for the second time during the Mets' six-game week. Canha still appears to be fairly secure in a near-everyday role, though the Mets' eagerness to open up more playing time in the infield for Luis Guillorme means that McNeil will spell Canha in the outfield more often than was anticipated heading into the season.

Homer, steal in win Canha went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a stolen base, a walk and two total runs scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Brewers. He was also hit by a pitch.

Impact Canha tied the game at 4-4 with his fifth-inning blast. He was plunked in the seventh and stole second. The 33-year-old had 17 homers and 12 steals in 2021, but he has just five long balls and one steal through 52 contests this season. The veteran outfielder is slashing .295/.378/.404 with 26 RBI, 30 runs scored and five doubles across 209 plate appearances, and he's held down a regular role as the starting left fielder.

Drives in three against Angels Canha went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Friday's win over the Angels.

Impact The veteran outfielder snapped an eight-game RBI drought with the performance. Canha isn't matching last year's pace in homers or steals, but he's justifying his offseason contract with a .300/.368/.394 slash line through 48 contests.

Takes seat Tuesday Canha is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Canha is coming off back-to-back two-hit games and will head to the bench for the second time in the past four contests. Jeff McNeil will shift to left field while Luis Guillorme starts at the keystone.

Two straight two-hit games Canha went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs Monday in the Mets' 11-5 win over the Padres.

Impact Canha has turned in two straight two-hit games to bring his season average up from .291 to .302. The 33-year-old isn't offering much power (.094 ISO, seven extra-base hits), but the .371 on-base average he's providing while typically batting in the bottom half of the order has been valuable in helping the Mets turn the lineup over.

Sitting against tough righty Canha is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers.

Impact The righty-hitting Canha will head to the bench in favor of the lefty-hitting Nick Plummer with righty Walker Buehler on the mound. This is one way to get Plummer at-bats, but Canha only occasionally sits against same-handed pitching. He is hitting .310 with one home run and zero steals over his last 10 games.
