Jeimer Candelario Hits His Eighth Home Run On Tuesday
3 years agoDetroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario helped lead the team to a 9-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. He went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in the game. The home run was his eighth of the year and his first since July 24. Candelario has been solid at the plate so far this month. Over eight games in August, he is slashing .310/.394/.552 with six RBI and five runs. He's currently riding a six-game hitting streak and he's reached base in 14 straight games. Candelario can offer fantasy managers some help in batting average, but his power bat comes and goes. He's worth a roster spot in AL-only leagues and deep leagues for anyone in need of corner infield depth.
