Brewers Sign Mark Canha to Minor League Deal

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed veteran outfielder and first baseman Mark Canha to a minor league contract, which includes an invite to Major League Spring Training. Canha, who spent part of the 2023 season with the Brewers, brings a wealth of experience and versatility to the team. Last season, he played for both the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants, posting a .242/.344/.346 slash line with seven home runs and 42 RBIs. The Brewers are hopeful that Canha's veteran presence and ability to play multiple positions will provide valuable depth to their roster.
​
Canha's signing comes in the wake of an injury to center fielder Blake Perkins, who is expected to miss 3-4 weeks due to a fractured shin. With Perkins sidelined, the Brewers will look to Canha to potentially fill the void in the outfield alongside Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick, and Jackson Chourio. Canha's solid plate discipline and ability to get on base make him a strong candidate to contribute to the Brewers' lineup as they prepare for the upcoming season. The team is optimistic that Canha can make a significant impact and help them contend in the National League Central.
