Nationals' Jeimer Candelario: Sitting with sore knee

Candelario is out of the lineup with a sore right knee Friday versus the Rangers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario was hit in the knee with a pitch Thursday and he'll now be forced to miss at least one game. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at third base and bat fifth Friday against Texas.
