Jeimer Candelario Back In Action Tuesday
11 months agoCincinnati Reds corner infielder Jeimer Candelario (shin) is back at third base and is hitting eighth in the batting order on Tuesday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Zac Gallen. Candelario was scratched from Sunday's lineup with a left-shin contusion but is good to go now after Monday's scheduled off day. The 30-year-old will now look to get going at the plate after starting his first year in Cincinnati slow. However, he has gone 6-for-18 with a home run in his last five contests, so perhaps he's already starting to heat up. The switch-hitter is currently slashing .190/.274/.360 with three homers and 10 RBI in his first 100 at-bats in 2024. It's a tough matchup in his return from injury, and he's gone hitless in three career at-bats against Gallen.
