OAKLAND -- Mark Canha feels exponentially better at the plate following his three-week stint with Triple-A Nashville.

The Oakland outfielder, recalled just ahead of game time Tuesday, was in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Angels, as the A's hope to keep him in rhythm.

"What we wanted to accomplish was, after basically a year off last year, let him go down there and get a bunch of games," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He almost had an RBI a game while he was there, so he feels good, and now it's just about getting him in the lineup semi-consistently here to keep him productive like he was in the past.
