Likely out through break Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Thursday that it's "probably a stretch right now" for Canha (hip) to return from the 10-day injured list before the All-Star break begins July 12,...
Impact Canha landed on the IL last weekend with a left hip strain, and since he previously required surgery on the same hip in 2016, the Athletics could be inclined to take a cautious approach with the outfielder. Fortunately for Canha, he doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural problems related to that previous surgery, and the Athletics are hopeful that he'll be feeling fresh for the second half after he received platelet-rich plasma injections in both hips earlier this week to address any lingering pain. Ramon Laureano and Tony Kemp have been deployed as Oakland's leadoff men since Canha was shut down with the injury.

Receives PRP injections Canha doesn't have any structural damage in his left hip and received PRP injections to both hips Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact The 32-year-old had surgery on his left hip back in 2016, so it's good news he's dealing with tendinitis and not any structural problems. Canha should take it easy for a few days after receiving the injections, and a return timeline should come into focus once he's cleared to resume workouts.

Placed on injured list Canha was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left hip strain, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Canha exited Thursday's game against Texas after two plate appearances due to the hip issue. He'll be on the shelf for the at least the next 10 days, though he could be in line for a longer absence, depending on the severity of the issue. Canha has served as the club's primary leadoff hitter this season while spending time at all three outfield positions. Tony Kemp figures to be the top candidate to lead off against right-handers during Canha's absence, with Ramon Laureano and Elvis Andrus possibly seeing starts atop the order against lefties. Seth Brown, Chad Pinder and Skye Bolt could see increased time in the outfield for the time being.

Dealing with hip strain Canha was removed from Thursday's win over the Rangers with a left hip strain, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Canha went 0-for-2 to begin Thursday's contest, but he was replaced defensively in the bottom of the third inning. Manager Bob Melvin revealed after the game that the 32-year-old's removal was due to a hip issue, and the outfielder will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the extent of the injury. If Canha is unavailable going forward, Seth Brown and Chad Pinder could see an uptick in playing time.
