The San Francisco Giants on Tuesday brought veteran outfielder-first baseman Mark Canha home.

Canha, 35, who played high school baseball for Bellarmine Prep in San Jose, Calif., and collegiately at the University of California-Berkeley, also spent the first seven years of his major-league career across San Francisco Bay with the Oakland Athletics. With the A’s, Canha played for Manager Bob Melvin, who is in his first season leading the Giants.
