The A's are going for their sixth straight win and a sweep of the Indians on Wednesday, but they'll have to do so without Khris Davis, who was placed on the injured list Tuesday night.
Manager Bob Melvin is turning to Mark Canha as his first Davis replacement at DH. Canha will bat fifth in Davis' place.
The Cal product has been on fire as of late. He has three homers in his last five games, including a pinch-hit two-run blast in the A's 5-3 win Tuesday over the Indians.
On the mound, the A's will turn to right-hander Frankie Montas. In his third season with the A's, Montas is turning into an ace of the staff. He's 5-2 with a 2.67 ERA in nine starts this season.

Montas is also coming off his best start of the season where he pitched a career-high 8 2/3 innings with 10 strikeouts, also a career best.
