Mark Canha Injury Update

Canha has been one of the main contributors that have helped the Athletics to a 53-40 record so far this season. He has a career-high 4 triples while also recording 11 home runs, 33 RBI and 7 stolen bases. He's managed to accomplish all of that on a .255/.375/.450 slash line, which he'll look to carry over into the second half of the 2021 MLB season.

With Canha returning against the Indians, he'll be trying to continue the success that he's already had against them throughout his career. He's faced Cleveland 18 times in the past, putting up 2 HR and 11 RBI in 56-at bats while slashing .268/.339/.482.

The Athletics will enter Saturday's contest against the Indians as the -186 favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
