Player Outlook
Jeimer Candelario has always packed latent power, but Comerica Park kept most of his fly balls in the yard. Last season, he signed with Washington and homers ensued, buoyed by power-friendly Nationals Park and Wrigley Field in the summertime. Before he was traded to the Cubs, Candelario clubbed 16 homers, fueling a .258/.342/.481 line. He fell a bit after, posting a .234/.318/.445 line, but added six more homers to set a new career high. Candelario's .471 slugging mark was the second highest of his career, only bettered by .503 in the pandemic season. His strikeout and walk rate have been in the same range for many years, with no sign of changing this year. Candelario's BABIP has been all over the place, ranging from .257 to .333 over the past six seasons, omitting the .372 mark recorded in the shortened 2020 season. He finds himself in his best home park to date after signing a three-year, $45 million deal with the Reds. His dual eligibility makes for a decent late cornerman, and while he may get more days off than a true everyday player, the switch hitter should be in the middle of the lineup most days and is a must-play at home.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Homers again

    Rotowire
    Candelario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-6 win over Miami. Candelario cracked his second home run in as many days and has at least one hit in four straight games, during which he's gone 5-for-15 with four RBI.

    Rotowire
    Candelario went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-4 win over Miami. Candelario hit the second of two first-inning solo homers, as the Reds jumped out to an early 7-0 lead through three innings and cruised from there. The home run was the 15th this season for Candelario, who extended an on-base streak to 12 contests.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Logs multi-hit game

    Rotowire
    Candelario went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Rockies. Candelario, who has a modest five-game hit streak (6-for-21), logged his first multi-hit effort in 12 games. He entered Monday batting .156 (7-for-45) over the previous 11 contests.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Fighting slump

    Rotowire
    Candelario went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to Detroit. The steal was the fourth of the season for Candelario, who swiped a career-high eight bags in 2023. The corner infielder/designated hitter, who reversed a season-opening slump in June, is back on the skids. Candelario is 3-for-28 with a 30 percent strikeout rate over the last seven games.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Starts at first base

    Rotowire
    Candelario started at first base and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees. This was Candelario's first start in the field since returning from a hamstring injury over the weekend. He served as Cincinnati's designated hitter the previous two games. As a result of him playing first base, Spencer Steer moved to left field for the day.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Returns as DH

    Rotowire
    Candelario started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Cardinals. Candelario sat out four consecutive games due to a hamstring injury before returning Sunday. Once he's ready to play the field, it won't be as the club's primary third baseman. While Candelario was out, Noelvi Marte was reinstated from a suspension and became the regular starter at third base. That means Candelario will move to either DH or first base.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Returning from four-game absence

    Rotowire
    Candelario (hamstring) will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Sunday's game against the Cardinals. After missing out on four straight starts due to hamstring tendinitis, Candelario will draw back into the lineup in a non-defensive role as he makes his fifth start of the season at DH. With Noelvi Marte recently completing his 80-game suspension and likely to see the bulk of the starts at third base moving forward, Candelario could end up picking up most of his playing time at either DH or first base, which should aid his recovery from the hamstring issue.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Aiming for Sunday return

    Rotowire
    Candelario (hamstring) is on track to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Candelario hasn't played since Tuesday as he tends to hamstring tendinitis. However, he's set to make his return for the series finale Sunday and will avoid a stint on the IL. In his stead, Noelvi Marte should continue to start at third base while Spencer Steer handles first base work, but it's not yet clear how the workload at the infield corners will be divided between the trio once Candelario is healthy.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Held out again Friday

    Rotowire
    Candelario (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis. It's the third straight day on the bench for Candelario, who has been dealing with hamstring tendinitis since last week. There are no indications to this point that he might require a trip to the 10-day injured list, but the Reds will be forced to consider a move if he remains sidelined much longer. Noelvi Marte and Spencer Steer are again handling the infield corners for the Reds on Friday.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Remaining out Thursday

    Rotowire
    Candelario (hamstring) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals. Manager David Bell said Wednesday that Candelario has been dealing with hamstring tendinitis for the past week, and while the team still doesn't plan on placing the 30-year-old on the injured list, the injury will cause him to miss a second consecutive game. Spencer Steer will get the nod at first base as a result, allowing Nick Martini to start in left field and bat fifth.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Dealing with hamstring tendinitis

    Rotowire
    Reds manager David Bell clarified Wednesday that Candelario is dealing with hamstring tendinitis and is considered day-to-day, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Candelario has been nursing the issue for more than a week, with Bell saying before Wednesday's loss to the Pirates that the injury is "progressively not getting better." However, the team doesn't seem to have any plans at this time to put Candelario on the 10-day injured list. Even if Candelario avoids the IL, he could still be deployed at designated hitter for a few games to ease the stress on his legs.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Battling knee tendinitis

    Rotowire
    Reds manager David Bell said Wednesday that Candelario is dealing with knee tendinitis that is "progressively not getting better" and "maybe a bit worse," Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Candelario -- who is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Pirates -- was removed from a game last week with the knee issue, and it has continued to nag at him. Bell noted that Candelario is still able to play but added that the infielder will be re-evaluated later Wednesday as the club decides how to best handle the situation. With Noelvi Marte looking likely to return from an 80-game suspension Thursday to provide the club another option at third base, it's possible the Reds will choose to put Candelario on the injured list if they determine his knee would improve with some extended rest.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Receiving rest Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Candelario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. Candelario will get a routine day off after he had been in the lineup for each of the previous five contests. Spencer Steer and Santiago Espinal will occupy the corner-infield spots for the Reds on Wednesday.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: On bench again Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Candelario (tendinitis) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. Candelario will be on the bench for the second game in a row while he deals with unspecified tendinitis. Reds manager David Bell already said that Candelario isn't at any major risk of landing on the injured list, so the expectation is that the veteran corner infielder will be good to go for Friday's series opener versus the Red Sox coming out of Thursday's team off day.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Remains hot in loss

    Rotowire
    Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Brewers. Candelario had two of Cincinnati's five hits, including a ninth-inning double that plated the club's lone run. The once-struggling infielder is having himself a June, going 20-for-56 (.357) with six home runs, four doubles and 14 RBI through 13 games.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Heating up

    Rotowire
    Candelario went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Brewers. Candelario belted a two-run home run in the fifth inning to help the Reds overcome a sloppy day in the field (five errors) and on the mound (eight walks). The home run was his third in the last two games and sixth during the month of June. After an inconsistent first two months, Candelario's bat is heating up this month. He's batting .346 (18-for-52) with nine extra-base hits, 13 RBI, two steals and eight runs over 12 contests.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Homers twice in win

    Rotowire
    Candelario went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in a 4-2 win over the Guardians on Wednesday. Candelario hit a solo home run off Tanner Bibee in the first inning and followed it up with a three-run homer off Bibee to give the Reds a 4-2 lead in the sixth. He then added a single in the eighth. Candelario has been mashing in June, hitting .340 with five homers and 11 RBI through 11 contests. While Candelario's .243 season average still isn't great, he now has 11 home runs and 31 RBI in 248 plate appearances and is hitting in the heart of a hot Reds lineup.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Connects for ninth home run

    Rotowire
    Candelario went 1-for-4 with a home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs. Candelario delivered early in this one with a solo home run off Ben Brown in the first inning. The Reds' third baseman has responded nicely since being moved to the three hole in the lineup with six home runs and nine RBI in his 16 games since the move. The 30-year-old extended his hitting streak to a season-best eight games, and he'll take a .238/.305/.449 line into Sunday's game.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Homer, two steals in win

    Rotowire
    Candelario went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and two stolen bases in a 12-7 win over Colorado on Wednesday. Candelario got the Reds on the board in the third inning with a two-run blast off Dakota Hudson, his eighth homer of the year and second in three days, before picking up his first two stolen bases of the season later in the contest. It was an impressive road trip for the 30-year-old Candelario, who's now gone 9-for-24 (.375) with three extra-base hits in his last five games. Overall, he's slashing .236/.304/.443 with 25 RBI and 22 runs scored through 224 plate appearances this season.
