Breaks out of slump in loss Canha went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Impact The veteran snapped out of a 1-for-18 skid that had encompassed his last five games with Tuesday's effort. Canha's average was sitting at .292 as recently as Aug. 21, but he's slashed just .172/.308/.264 across the 27 games he's suited up for in the subsequent month since that point.

Pops fourth homer Canha went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI during a 9-0 win over the Mariners in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

Impact After going 0-for-3 in the matinee, Canha took Brady Lail deep in the sixth inning of the nightcap to pad a comfortable 6-0 lead. The 31-year-old outfielder has three multi-hit performances in his last seven games but went 0-for-11 in the other four, and on the year he's slashing .247/.388/.409 with four homers, four steals, 25 runs and 25 RBI through 47 games.

Rips second triple Canha went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Impact Canha's multi-hit effort was just his second over the last 17 contests, as the veteran has been prone to several multi-game slumps lately. Canha came into Sunday in an 0-for-8 skid that had encompassed the prior three games, and despite his success in the loss, he's still hitting just .171 (6-for-35) in 12 September contests.

Continues climbing out of slump Canha went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Astros on Thursday.

Impact It was one of Canha's more productive outings in quite some time, as the veteran had been mired in a 1-for-20 eight-game stretch before also lacing a two-bagger in Wednesday's contest. The quick 3-for-8 surge is modest, but it offers fantasy managers some solace after the aforementioned dry spell. Despite recent struggles, Canha still sports an elite .395 on-base percentage thanks in large part to his career-high 15.1 percent walk rate.

Two hits in loss Canha went 2-for-4 with a double and run-scoring single in Monday's loss to the Rangers.

Impact Canha got Oakland out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning with his RBI single off Lance Lynn. He added a double later in the game, raising his batting average to .290. Canha has played himself into an everyday role while cementing himself into the middle of the Athletics' lineup. He should continue to see consistent at-bats while rotating between outfield and designated hitter duties.

Productive day in win Canha went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Impact Even when he's not blasting the ball over the fence, Canha continues to get on base at an elite clip. Factoring in Thursday's production, the veteran now boasts a .413 OBP, a figure partly comprised of a career-high 14.7 percent walk rate and five hit by pitches. Canha has also hit safely in seven of his last eight games, and he's complemented his three home runs with five doubles and one triple over 109 plate appearances.

Goes deep against Diamondbacks Canha went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's win over Arizona.

Impact Canha notched his third long ball of the season and has been seeing the ball well of late, hitting safely in nine of Oakland's last 11 games, a span in which he has hit .333 with two homers and a .980 OPS. However, he has also struck out in 30.6 percent of his at-bats during that stretch, meaning he's essentially a boom-or-bust hitter. The 31-year-old slugger is hitting .274 this season and, if the season ended today, that would be a career-best mark for him.
