Mark Canha Back For The Tigers
5 months agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Mark Canha (wrist) is back in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the hosting Toronto Blue Jays for the start of the second half of the season, serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth against Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt. Canha missed the final game of the first half of the season on Sunday due to a right-wrist injury but healed up nicely over this week's All-Star break. The 35-year-old veteran right-handed hitter will return to a .228/334/.341 slash line with a below-average .676 OPS, six home runs, 34 RBI, four steals and 36 runs scored in 290 at-bats in his first year in Detroit. Canha has gone 5-for-22 (.227) with two doubles and two RBI in seven games in the month of July and hasn't homered since May 11.
