Royals outfielder Mark Canha placed on 10-day IL with left elbow injury

The Kansas City Royals placed outfielder Mark Canha on the 10-day injured list with a left elbow injury

JULY 8 • Associated Press

Lands on IL with elbow injury The Royals placed Canha on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow epicondylitis.

Impact Epicondylitis is the formal diagnosis of "tennis elbow," and it's not clear how long the injury might sideline Canha. Cam Devanney has taken Canha's spot on the roster.

Hits first homer of season Canha went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Canha was in the lineup for the first time in July and delivered a solo shot to pad the Royals' lead in the fifth inning. The 36-year-old hit just .125 (4-for-32) over 14 games in June and continues to see limited playing time. With Drew Waters' demotion to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Canha will have a little more opportunity to get starts in left field, though he'll have to compete with fellow right-handed hitter Nick Loftin as well as fourth outfielder John Rave. Canha is slashing .220/.281/.275 with one homer, five RBI, nine runs scored and no stolen bases over 121 plate appearances, so he's unlikely to be a strong fantasy option, especially with limited playing time.

Garcia homers as the Royals beat the Cards 7-5 to split doubleheader

Maikel Garcia homered, doubled and scored three times, and the Kansas City Royals beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-5 n the second game of a day-night doubleheader

JUNE 6 • Associated Press

Struggling to find playing time Canha is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

Impact Canha has been starting regularly against left-handed pitching and even began to see a few more opportunities versus righties a couple weeks ago after the Royals phased out Hunter Renfroe before releasing him, but Canha's playing time has since tailed off. He's made just one start since May 26 and is unlikely to see his outlook improve anytime soon after the Royals called up top prospect Jac Caglianone from Triple-A Omaha earlier this week.

Dingler, Greene and Torkelson homer as Tigers beat Royals 7-5 for their fifth straight win

Dillon Dingler had three hits, including a home run, and three RBIs, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 7-5 on Friday night for their fifth straight victory

MAY 31 • Associated Press

Playing time trending up Canha will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact With Kyle Isbel (illness) on the bench for the second day in a row, the Royals will once again have room in the outfield for Canha, who started in right Saturday and went 2-for-4 with a walk. The veteran has been used primarily as a short-side platoon player this season, so his opportunities to play against right-handed pitching could be limited once Isbel moves past the illness.
