MARK CANHA NEWS

Socks first homer of 2022 Canha went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

Impact He took Max Fried deep in the third inning, Canha's first long ball as a Met. The veteran outfielder hit second for the first time this season after spending most of his time so far toward the bottom of the order, but his .356/.433/.424 slash line through 17 games suggests manager Buck Showalter would be better off keeping Canha near the top.

Not activated for doubleheader The Mets didn't activate Canha (illness) from the COVID-19 injured list prior to the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Giants, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Both Canha and Brandon Nimmo were placed on the COVID-19 IL on Friday, and Nimmo will be the first of the two to rejoin the 28-man active roster after clearing the final stages of MLB's testing protocols earlier Tuesday. Canha could theoretically clear the protocols within the next few hours to make himself available for the second game of the twin bill, but the Mets would likely wait until Wednesday to activate him in that scenario.
