Canha has been named to the A's Opening Day roster, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
With Jaff Decker being reassigned Saturday, Canha stands as the A's lone extra outfielder to start the season. Canha missed most of last season with a hip injury that required surgery, but he was serviceable in 2015 with a .254/.315/.426 slash line over 441 at-bats.
