Mark Canha

The 24-year-old has started four straight games and never batted lower than third. He went just 3-for-17 over that stretch but two of those hits were home runs and he drove in six runs in those four games. The rookie is now hitting .277 in 14 games in July and is starting to heat up a bit with the bat, so he can be on the radar in more fantasy formats. On Wednesday, Mark Canha will be the DH with Riley Greene playing left field.

When looking at the Tigers’ potential trade candidates, the majority of focus is understandably on starting pitchers Jack Flaherty and Tarik Skubal. (The former seems likely to move, the latter does not.) But for all the deserved attention on those arms, Detroit’s roster has several other pieces who could pique the interest of contending clubs.…

Bassitt racked up six strikeouts on the evening while issuing only one free pass. The Tigers got to him for three runs in the fourth inning as Riley Greene smacked an RBI single and Mark Canha followed with a two-run blast. Wenceel Perez then tagged him for a two-run shot to chase him in the seventh inning. Bassitt got 10 swings and misses on 95 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 32 percent. He'll look to improve upon his 3.71 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 106/46 K/BB ratio (114 innings) when he does battle against the Rays on Thursday.

Canha capped off a three-run rally in the fourth inning with a 384-foot (100.9-mph EV) two-run shot off of Chris Bassitt that extended the Tigers' lead to 3-0. That was the 35-year-old's first home run since May 11 -- more than two calendar months ago. He struck to the three true outcomes in this one, also drawing a walk and striking out twice to finish the night 1-for-3. On the season, he's slashing .229/.336/.352 with seven long balls and 36 RBI.
