Candelario (back) resumed baseball activities Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports. Candelario is already eligible to return from the injured list after suffering a lower-back strain in mid-September. He had slumped to a .083/.227/.278 lin in the 13 games prior to hitting the injured list, however, so the Cubs will want to make sure he's right before activating him.... See More ... See Less

Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Could return next week
Manager David Ross expressed optimism Tuesday that Candelario (back) could return next week, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports. Candelario has been sidelined for over a week now due to a lower-back strain, but it sounds like he is making some semblance of progress with his side work. The 29-year-old corner infielder had registered a .773 OPS with five homers and two steals through 36 games for Chicago prior to landing on the injured list.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Placed on 10-day IL
The Cubs placed Candelario on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a lower-back strain, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. Candelario suffered the injury in Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks and will be sidelined until at least a week from Thursday. Nick Madrigal is playing third base Tuesday at Colorado, with Cody Bellinger covering first base and Christopher Morel filling the DH role. Alexander Canario has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa as a depth option off the bench.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Held out Monday
Candelario (back) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies. Candelario left Sunday's victory over the Diamondbacks with tightness in his back, and he will not play a full nine innings one day later. It's unclear both if he will be available off the bench and if he will miss any further action.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Nursing tight back
Candelario left Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks due to back tightness, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports. Candelario went 0-for-2 with a strikeout prior to being pulled with the injury in the bottom of the fifth inning. The 29-year-old is still being evaluated by the training staff, and he should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: On bench Wednesday
Candelario is not in the Cubs' lineup Wednesday against the Giants. Candelario is receiving a rare day off. His last game on the bench was Sept. 1, but that was part of a doubleheader. Prior to that, he had appeared in every game since Aug. 13.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Hits 21st home run
Candelario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 15-7 victory over the Reds. Candelario chipped in to Chicago's rout, launching his 21st home run of the season in the ninth inning. The infielder has been solid for the Cubs since rejoining the team before the trade deadline. Across 30 games, Candelario has an .831 OPS to go along with five home runs, 14 RBI and 17 runs scored.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Taking seat in first game
Candelario is absent from the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Reds. Cody Bellinger and Nick Madrigal will handle the corner infield spots and Christopher Morel will be the designated hitter. Candelario figures to be in the lineup for the second game.... See More ...

Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Homers Sunday
Candelario went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's victory over the Pirates. Candelario put the Cubs ahead 3-1 with a two-run homer off Bailey Falter in the fourth inning, which was his 19th long ball of the year (matching a career high) and third since joining Chicago. The 29-year-old Candelario has two homers and eight RBI over his last six games, though he's gone just 5-for-23 (.217) in that span. Overall, he's slashing .267/.347/.489 with 71 runs scored, 65 RBI and eight steals across 510 plate appearances between the Cubs and Nationals this season.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Slugs two-run blast Monday
Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Monday's 8-6 loss to the Tigers. Candelario continued his excellent play for the Cubs since coming over at the trade deadline, as he's now batting .349 with two home runs and 12 runs scored across 18 games. The infielder also has 36 doubles this season, which is good for second in the majors behind Freddie Freeman.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Not starting Sunday
Candelario is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays. Since being traded to the Cubs on July 31, Candelario has started in every game. With the Cubs in August, the infielder is slashing .425/.489/.625 in 45 plate appearances. Sunday will just be a rest day for the 29-year-old with Nick Madrigal getting the start at third....

Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Goes deep Saturday
Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's win over Atlanta. Candelario has hit the ground running since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, as he's now gone 11-for-19 with five extra-base hits and eight runs scored in five games. The infielder has been a great addition, and he should remain locked into the lineup with a regular spot at first base, giving him a chance to build on his strong numbers at the plate....

Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Possible waiver wire pickups
Candelario has played two games for his new team. He has eight hits, raising his batting average from .258 to .273. Three of those hits were doubles, and his 33 trail only Freddie Freeman. That's a big reason why he's a top-10 third baseman in points leagues, the format that actually rewards doubles, but you may be just as surprised to learn he's top-12 in Rotisserie, the format that requires every team to start an extra corner infielder. My hunch is that he's been playing over his head, which is supported by his .242 xBA and .414 xSLG. But I'll note that this is his first year outside of Comerica Park, which is the most stifling of venues for a hitter who lives in the gaps. We saw the effect on Nick Castellanos once he escaped (coincidentally, to the Cubs), so maybe it's not a stretch to think Candelario is really this good.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Four more hits Wednesday
Candelario went 4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and four runs scored in Wednesday's 16-6 win over the Reds. Candelario has now played in two games with the Cubs since getting traded over from the Nationals, and he's proceeded to go 8-for-9 with three doubles and six runs scored. He won't be able to stay this hot, but he's been solid all season with an .854 OPS and has fit in very nicely so far with his new team.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: To play first base regularly
Cubs manager David Ross said Tuesday that Candelario will get regular starts at first base, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports. Acquired from the Nationals on Monday in exchange for a pair of minor-leaguers, Candelario is making his Cubs debut at first base Tuesday night against the Reds. Nick Madrigal is starting at third base and Christopher Morel is serving as the designated hitter. This new defensive formation will allow Cody Bellinger to see more action in center field as Chicago looks to make a late run at the NL Central title.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Traded to Cubs
Candelario was traded from the Nationals to the Cubs on Monday in exchange for DJ Herz and Kevin Made, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. Candelario has deep ties with the Cubs organization, as he first signed with them as a 16-year-old in 2010 and made his big-league debut with Chicago in 2016 before getting traded to the Tigers and then the Nationals. The switch-hitting third baseman has been very productive this season, slashing .258/.342/.481 with 16 home runs, 57 runs, 53 RBI and six steals in 99 games while playing every day and hitting in the middle of the lineup. He should be able to play almost every day with the Cubs, but he could get more rest days now that he is a part of a deeper active roster.... See More ... See Less -
Nationals' Jeimer Candelario: Held out Monday amid trade talks
Candelario is not in Monday's lineup against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Candelario almost never rests when healthy, but in this case he is being held out while the Nationals discuss trade packages with other teams ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. He is hitting .250 with a .349 OBP, nine home runs and five steals in 48 games since June 1. If Candelario gets traded, it would be to a better lineup, but he may see a home park downgrade and could hit lower in the order and play less often for a contending team.... See More ... See Less -
Nationals' Jeimer Candelario: OK after injury scare
Candelario said after Friday's game against the Mets that he's "fine" and would have been able to hit if his spot in the lineup came up again, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Aggressiveness on the bases led to an injury scare, as Candelario tried to stretch a single into a double in the eighth inning and appeared to hurt his left shoulder. The shoulder apparently checked out OK in between innings, but as he was the DH on Friday, no defensive replacement was necessary. A likely trade candidate, Candelario went 1-for-3 with a walk in the cointest and is now slashing .254/.355/.478 on the season.... See More ... See Less -
Nationals' Jeimer Candelario: Drives in three runs
Candelario went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Monday's loss to the Rockies. Candelario's eighth-inning blast was his 16th of the year and sixth of the month. He's produced just two multi-hit games in July, going 13-for-57 (.228) during that span. The 29-year-old third baseman's season numbers are still impressive -- Candelario is slashing .257/.335/.486 with 50 RBI and 46 extra-base hits through 93 games and has turned himself into a quality trade chip for the Nationals....

Nationals' Jeimer Candelario: Clubs 15th homer
Candelario went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Cubs. Candelario has homered in two of three games since he returned from a minor thumb injury. He's swatted five of his 15 homers this season over 13 contests in July. The infielder is slashing .259/.334/.485 with 46 RBI, 49 runs scored, five stolen bases and 27 doubles through 89 contests. He's on pace for career-best numbers in a majority of the standard fantasy categories.... See More ... See Less

Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro42M agoOff the bat it looked like Seiya Suzuki had a no-doubt 2-run HR in the first. Instead, Rockies CF Brenton Doyle makes a leaping catch into the ivy to end the inning. Cubs up 1-0 through 1. Suzuki's 376-foot fly out was a barreled ball: 100.7 mph exit velocity and .630 xBA.
