Rest-of-Season Projections
2019 Fantasy Outlook
Canha quietly had a nice season for Oakland, finishing two wins above replacement according to FanGraphs. He muscled 39 extra-base hits in 411 plate appearances, good for an even .200 ISO. He shaved his strikeout rate by more than eight percentage points from his 2017 sample (to 21.4%) and walked at an above-average 8.3% clip. However, Canha really did nothing to shed the "platoon" label, slashing just .227/.323/.343 against right-handed pitching. Thirteen of his 17 homers came in just 149 at-bats against lefties. So while it's nice to see the year-to-year improvements with approach and plate discipline, realistically, Canha is what he is entering his age-30 season. We are seeing more and more teams platoon at more positions, but short-end platoon players are still primarily league-specific considerations. In mixed leagues, Canha is the type of player you pick up here and there to plug a gap, and hope for the best. Read Past Outlooks
Rips second round tripper
Canha went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs in a loss to the Orioles on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Canha launched his second home run of the season in the fifth, an impressive 436-foot shot to left center. The veteran continues to split time between first base and the outfield, and he's now hit safely in each of his last three starts. Canha has also displayed improved plate discipline, albeit over a small sample, thus far this season. The 30-year-old has already drawn eight walks over his first 27 plate appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2017
2016
2015
Since his promising 2015 campaign, Canha has disappointed, though last season's .644 OPS was an improvement on 2016's disastrous .481 mark. To be fair, Canha was battling back issues throughout the entire 2016 campaign. Last season, he just couldn't get it in gear. The Athletics love their platoon pieces, but back in 2015, the righty swinger was more effective versus same-side pitching and in limited playing time since, he's been equally ineffective versus all pitchers. Canha's primary issues the past two seasons were a high strikeout rate and low walk rate, both contrary to what he exhibited while progressing through Oakland's system. Coming off surgery to remove a cyst from his wrist, Canha should be healthy this spring. There is some pop in his bat, but he's going to need to hit in exhibition play to make the Opening Day roster since defensively, he's limited to first base and corner outfield.
