Jeimer Candelario Back In Cactus League Lineup
28 seconds agoCincinnati Reds corner infielder Jeimer Candelario (tooth) is back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. Candelario will return to the diamond to close out the week after having a wisdom tooth removed earlier in the week. It was never anything that was going to keep the 31-year-old veteran out for too long. Candelario will serve as the DH against the Halos, but he should see most of his playing time in 2025 between third and first base for the Reds. The switch-hitting infielder battled injuries in his first year in Cincinnati in 2024, including a fractured big left toe in August that ended his season early. He disappointed by hitting .225/.279/.429, but he did hit 20 home runs in 112 games played. At a discounted price, Candelario isn't a bad late-round corner infield target for his power.
