Player Outlook
In his age-34 season, Mark Canha continued to cruise along as a steady if not spectacular veteran. The outfielder began 2023 with the Mets, but with New York falling out of contention, he was dealt to Milwaukee at the deadline. Canha earned a regular role with the Brewers and played well, posting five home runs, 33 RBI and an .800 OPS across 50 games. For the full season, he recorded 11 home runs, 62 RBI and a .755 OPS over 139 games. Now in his first season with the Tigers following an offseason trade, Canha is likely to post similar numbers. He has a career .772 OPS and has hit 20 or more long balls once in nine years. His career high in RBI is 70, and he recorded 61, 61 and 62 RBI the last three years, respectively. In short, Canha is a solid and consistent player, though he's best viewed as a depth piece in most fantasy leagues. The playing time should be there at least on a Detroit team that is still searching for consistent offense.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Moving to bench Thursday

    Rotowire
    Canha is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians. Canha will cede his spot in the lineup to Zach McKinstry, who gets the nod at third base while Matt Vierling shifts to the outfield. After going 0-for-22 over a six-game stretch from June 25 through July 2, Canha has bounced back over the ensuing three weeks, slashing .306/.390/.500 over 11 games. As a veteran on an expiring contract, Canha could be a prime candidate to get moved elsewhere ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline while the 50-53 Tigers likely find themselves in the sellers camp.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Records three hits in win

    Rotowire
    Canha went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 8-2 win over the Guardians. Canha hasn't really gotten going this season, as he's batting just .236 overall, but he's riding a modest three-game hitting streak and is batting .303 in July. The veteran did miss some time earlier this month due to hip and wrist issues, but he seems healthy coming out of the All-Star break and should continue to see regular playing time for the Tigers.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: On bench for series finale

    Rotowire
    Canha is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. Canha's playing time had been trending down heading into the All-Star break due to lingering wrist soreness and general ineffectiveness at the plate, but he picked up starts in both of the Tigers' first two games in Toronto, going 2-for-7 with a home run and two walks. He'll take a seat Sunday while the Tigers clear room in the lineup for Justyn-Henry Malloy at designated hitter and Bligh Madris at first base, but manager A.J. Hinch hasn't seemed to cut bait with Canha as a near-everyday player just yet.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Goes deep in return

    Rotowire
    Canha (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays. Canha missed the last game before the All-Star break with a sore wrist but was able to return following the long layoff. The veteran outfielder hasn't really gotten going yet for the Tigers, as he's batting just .229 with a .688 OPS in his first season with the team. Last year, Canha batted .262 with a .755 OPS for the Brewers and Mets. He had an OPS of .700 or better in each of the previous six seasons, so he'll need a strong finish in 2024 to keep that streak alive.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Returns to lineup

    Rotowire
    Canha (wrist) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth in Friday's game against the Blue Jays. Canha tweaked his right wrist in the second-to-last game before the All-Star break and didn't play Sunday, but he's ready to roll after getting some rest. The 35-year-old will enter the second half having slashed just .130/.250/.167 in his last 17 games.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Hopes to return after break

    Rotowire
    Canha (wrist) said Sunday that he will rest and do treatment over the All-Star break and hopes to be able to play in Detroit's first game of the second half next Friday in Toronto, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Canha exited Saturday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Dodgers early due to a sore wrist and isn't in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, though Jason Beck of MLB.com notes that the veteran is available in an emergency situation. Canha doesn't look like he'll need a trip to the injured list, especially with the extra rest afforded by the All-Star break.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Not in lineup Sunday

    Rotowire
    Canha (wrist) isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. Canha was removed for a pinch hitter in Saturday's contest due to a sore wrist and will begin Sunday's game on the bench. It isn't clear if he's available to pinch hit. Sunday is the final day before the All-Star break, so Canha will have an opportunity to recover before Detroit's next game Friday, July 19.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Battling sore wrist

    Rotowire
    Canha was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to right wrist soreness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Canha reached base on an error and scored during the second inning of Saturday's victory, but Jake Rogers entered to pinch hit for him in the fourth. Canha's status for Sunday's series finale remains unclear, though the Tigers may opt to sit him so that he'll have plenty of time to heal during the All-Star break.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Available to play Thursday

    Rotowire
    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Canha is "very available" for Thursday's game against the Guardians, despite the fact that he's been contending with left hip discomfort of late, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. "It's not a punishment at all, it's [how] these other guys are swinging the bat," Hinch said of Canha's status. "I think Mark's best contribution today will be off the bench." Canha is out of the lineup Thursday for a third straight game, and while the hip issue initially looked to be at least part of the reason why he was on the bench, Hinch's comments seemed to suggest that it's more of a result of Canha's poor performance of late. Heading into Thursday's contest, Canha is hitting just .098/.203/.118 with one extra-base hit over his last 15 games, though it's unclear to what extent playing through the hip injury might have factored into his struggles. Regardless, Zach McKinstry has been the main beneficiary of Canha's slump, as the lefty-hitting McKinstry will stay in the lineup for a fifth straight game. The two could end up being deployed in a de facto platoon, making the right-handed-hitting Canha a candidate to re-enter the lineup Friday and Saturday, when the Tigers are tentatively scheduled to face Dodgers lefties Justin Wrobleski and James Paxton.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Odd man out of lineup again

    Rotowire
    Canha is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. Parker Meadows' (hamstring) move to the injured list Monday hasn't seemed to help Canha from a playing-time perspective. The 35-year-old will hit the bench for the third day in a row while he's slashed an ugly .098/.203/.118 over his last 15 games. Rather than Canha, utility man Zach McKinstry seems to be the main beneficiary of Meadows' absence, as McKinstry has now started at either third base or shortstop in five straight contests.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: On bench in second straight game

    Rotowire
    Canha is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians. Even though he had gotten on base in each of his last four starts, Canha is still slashing a dismal .098/.203/.118 dating back to June 19. The extended slump at the plate looks like it will cost Canha some playing time, as he'll hit the bench against a right-handed pitcher for the second day in a row.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Canha is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians. Canha has just five hits in his past 51 at-bats and will sit Tuesday after starting the previous three games. Justyn-Henry Malloy will serve as the designated hitter for Tuesday's matchup with Cleveland.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Idle Friday

    Rotowire
    Canha is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds. Canha has three hits in his last 39 at-bats and will be absent from the starting nine for the second time in three games. Gio Urshela will play first base while Matt Vierling fills the hot corner.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Idle Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Canha isn't in the Tigers' lineup Wednesday against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Canha will get a day to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-22 in his last six games. His absence will move Gio Urshela to first base while Matt Vierling (foot) covers third, opening up a spot in left field for Akil Baddoo.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Sitting Thursday

    Rotowire
    Canha is absent from Thursday's lineup against the Angels. Canha had started Detroit's last 22 games but hit only .211 in that span. He had a 15.9 percent strikeout rate during that stretch -- lessening the reason for concern -- though he'll still get a day of rest. Gio Urshela is sliding to first base, Matt Vierling to third, and Adkil Baddoo enters the lineup in left field.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Tallies two hits, steal in win

    Rotowire
    Canha went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Nationals. He also stole a base. Canha extended his hitting streak to three games, and he's recorded a stolen base in two of those contests. That gives the veteran four steals for the season, and while he's not known for his speed at this point in his career, Canha did swipe 11 bases in 12 chances last year. He's a smart and efficient baserunner who can contribute a little bit in that category, though fantasy managers shouldn't expect huge numbers the rest of the way.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Back in lineup Sunday

    Rotowire
    Canha (hip) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Red Sox. As expected, the veteran will return to the lineup for the series finale after missing the last two games with a hip strain. Canha holds a slash line of .247/.358/.401 with 24 RBI and 27 runs this season.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Expects to play Sunday

    Rotowire
    Canha (hip) expects to play a full game Sunday versus the Red Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Canha is dealing with a psoas strain in his left hip and his ability to return to the lineup Sunday will be a big test for his status moving forward. If he suffers a setback, the 35-year-old will likely head to the injured list.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Getting breather Thursday

    Rotowire
    Canha isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Thursday's game versus Toronto. Canha will get a day to regroup after going 0-for-15 with five strikeouts across his past four games. Matt Vierling, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter will start across the outfield while Riley Greene serves as Detroit's designated hitter.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Back in lineup

    Rotowire
    Canha (illness) is batting third as the Tigers' designated hitter for Friday's game against the Astros. Canha has been dealing with an upper respiratory illness and missed a pair of games due to the issue. However, he seems to be on the mend, as he'll be making his first appearance since May 6.
