Jeimer Candelario Out Again On Monday
18 seconds agoCincinnati Reds corner infielder Jeimer Candelario is out of the starting lineup again for Monday's series opener against the Miami Marlins. Noelvi Marte is making the start at third base and is batting eighth against Marlins right-hander Max Meyer after his big performance on Sunday, while Spencer Steer is starting at first base and batting sixth. With Steer back in the fold on defense after dealing with a shoulder injury early in the season, the 31-year-old Candelario could be in danger of losing more playing time moving forward after a slow start to the season. In his first 19 games in 2025, he's gone 9-for-69 (.130) with two home runs, two doubles, eight RBI, nine walks and 25 strikeouts in 79 plate appearances. Marte has a hit in two career at-bats against Meyer, while Steer is hitless in his two at-bats. The good news is that Candelario has hits in each of his last two games, including a home run.
