A’s place Mark Canha on injured list with left hip strain

The 2021 Bay Bridge Series just got a bit less fun.

The Oakland A’s announced Friday that they’ve placed outfielder Mark Canha on the 10-day injured list, due to a left hip strain. Canha exited Thursday’s game due to soreness in the hip and later had an MRI.

This is quite a blow to Oakland’s lineup, as the 32-year-old has been one of their best players this season. He’s provided power and a high OBP from the leadoff spot, and on defense he’s moved around to cover all three outfield positions when needed.
