Athletics' Mark Canha: To swing off a tee Tuesday

Canha (hip) will begin swinging off a tee Tuesday, John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group reports.

Analysis:

Hip surgery ended Canha's season in May. This news, however, indicates that he is on pace for a return come spring training next season, when his ability to play both the outfield and first base should allow him to contend for a roster spot in Oakland once again.
