Mark Canha batting cleanup Wednesday in first game

Canha will move into the cleanup role for only the third time this season. He hit third in the last three games and went 6-for-11 with 2 doubles, 2 RBI, and 4 runs scored. Riley Greene will hit third and Gio Urshela will bat fifth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader. The Tigers placed Kerry Carpenter (back) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, so Canha could end up seeing multiple starts in the cleanup spot.
