Athletics manager Bob Melvin has liked the early returns from rookie outfielder Mark Canha. So much so, Canha is becoming a regular in the starting lineup, reports MLB.com.
"That wasn't the plan," said Melvin, smiling. "Now, he's made his opportunities as I've said, and with Coco out, he's gotten the opportunity, so you gotta give him credit. He's getting good at-bats off whoever they're running out there."
Canha is hitting .367 with a home run and seven RBI in his first 30 at-bats this season.
