Dodgers seek a right-handed hitter at deadline: Sorting through the options Enrique Hernández, Mark Canha and Tommy Tommy Pham are among the players who might be a fit.
Added to lineup Tuesday Canha was added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
Impact Canha will cover right field and bat eighth in place of Starling Marte, who was scratched due to a migraine headache. It doesn't sound like Marte will be out long, though Canha has been seeing semi-regular playing time at other positions (left field, DH) as he continues to get on base at a decent clip.

Mets look lifeless in series loss to Dodgers; is a trade-deadline selloff next?
The Mets are a star-studded, big-budget bust, one that looks more and more likely to sell at the trade deadline with each game they playJULY 17, 2023
Steals seventh bag Canha went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Dodgers.
Impact He also got hit by a pitch. While he's no longer a regular member of the starting nine for the Mets, Canha continues to see a steady trickle of at-bats thanks to his on-base skills, and over his last 20 games he's slashing .225/.385/.375 with one of his six homers and three of his seven steals on the season.

Big night against Giants Canha went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Impact Getting the start at first base while Pete Alonso got a partial breather as the DH, Canha came through with a fourth-inning solo shot off Alex Wood before swiping third base on the front end of a surprising double steal with Brett Baty in the seventh. The homer was Canha's first since June 1, and he hit just .224 (11-for-49) through 20 games in between the long balls. On the season, the veteran outfielder is slashing .245/.337/.394 with six homers, six steals, 25 RBI and 27 runs, and it might take a Tommy Pham trade for Canha to get another chance to hold down a regular spot in the starting nine.

Losing work to Pham, Vogelbach Canha is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Canha will sit for the fourth time in five games and appears to have moved into a reserve role with Tommy Pham and Daniel Vogelbach having since re-emerged as regulars in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. The Mets should still have steady playing time available for Canha against southpaws, since the lefty-hitting Vogelbach rarely starts when the platoon advantage isn't in his favor.

On bench Wednesday Canha is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Astros.
Impact Canha will get a breather after he went 1-for-2 with an RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 loss. Tommy Pham will replace him in left field while Daniel Vogelbach takes over at designated hitter and bats seventh in the series finale with Houston.

Impact Canha will take a seat after he went 1-for-6 with an RBI, a run scored and two walks during the team's three-game series with St. Louis. With Pete Alonso back at first base, Canha will now compete with Tommy Pham in left field for playing time. Pham will start in left field and bat fifth in the series opener with Houston.

Hits bench Wednesday Canha is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Canha will take a seat for the series finale after a stretch of four consecutive starts during which he went 5-for-14 with three doubles, a walk, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base. Mark Vientos will fill in for Canha at first base, the position that Canha has been seeing most of his playing time at of late with Pete Alonso (wrist) on the shelf.

Nabs fourth steal Canha went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Pirates.
Impact The hit was one of only three for the Mets on the afternoon, while the steal was Canha's fourth in 57 games -- exceeding his total of three from last season in 140 games. The 34-year-old has picked up the pace at the plate, slashing .302/.423/.488 over his last 15 games with two homers, two steals, six runs and nine RBI, and in the absence of Pete Alonso (wrist) he figures to split time at first base with Mark Vientos while also seeing action in the outfield corners.

Drives in three in win Canha went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.
Impact Getting his second straight start at first base and hitting ninth, Canha broke open a 1-1 tie in the top of the seventh inning with a two-run double, his first two-bagger since May 14. The 34-year-old seems to be getting the first crack at filling in for Pete Alonso (wrist), and while he carries a career-worst .725 OPS on the season, Canha's bat has shown more life recently -- over his last 14 games he's slashing .300/.417/.500 with two homers and nine RBI.
