Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Sent to Tigers in Wilson trade

Candelario was traded to the Tigers along with Isaac Paredes and cash or a player to be named later for reliever Justin Wilson and catcher Alex Avila, Lynn Henning of The Detroit News reports.

Candelario had a brief taste of the big leagues with the Cubs earlier this year. With Triple-A Iowa, he was hitting .266/.361/.507 with 12 home runs. He was the Cubs' fourth-rated remaining prospect according to RotoWire's rankings prior to the trade and may receive a decent chunk of playing time with the rebuilding Tigers as this season winds down.
