Struggling to find playing time Canha is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.
Impact Canha has been starting regularly against left-handed pitching and even began to see a few more opportunities versus righties a couple weeks ago after the Royals phased out Hunter Renfroe before releasing him, but Canha's playing time has since tailed off. He's made just one start since May 26 and is unlikely to see his outlook improve anytime soon after the Royals called up top prospect Jac Caglianone from Triple-A Omaha earlier this week.

Playing time trending up Canha will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Twins.
Impact With Kyle Isbel (illness) on the bench for the second day in a row, the Royals will once again have room in the outfield for Canha, who started in right in Saturday's 3-1 loss and went 2-for-4 with a walk. Canha has been used primarily as a short-side platoon player this season, so his opportunities to play against right-handed pitching could be limited once Isbel moves past the illness.

Activated from injured list The Royals reinstated Canha (hip) from the injured list Saturday.
Impact A left abductor strain sent Canha to the injured list April 9, and he'll now rejoin the active roster following a minimum-length stay on the IL. The 36-year-old veteran played three rehab games at Triple-A Omaha, during which he went 2-for-10 with three runs scored. With Canha fully healthy and MJ Melendez now in Triple-A, the former is likely to see increased playing time in left field going forward.

Set to begin rehab assignment Canha (hip) is expected to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Impact Canha landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left abductor strain that he suffered when colliding with the outfield wall while attempting to catch a flyball against the Twins on Tuesday. He's progressed enough in his recovery to embark on a rehab assignment, but it's unclear whether he'll be activated from the IL when eligible April 19. Canha went 5-for-14 with two walks and four runs scored prior to his injury.
