Jeimer Candelario Sitting Out On Tuesday
4 months agoCincinnati Reds infielder Jeimer Candelario and outfielder Jake Fraley are not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday versus the hosting Atlanta Braves. Fraley is out against All-Star left-hander Chris Sale, while Candelario will be getting a rest day for the first time since April. Noelvi Marte is at third base and is batting sixth, while Santiago Espinal is serving as the designated hitter and is hitting ninth against Sale. Rookie Rece Hinds re-enters the lineup in right field and is in the eight-hole. The switch-hitting Candelario is hitting just .236 (80-for-339) in his first year in Cincinnati, but he's also produced 16 home runs (four shy of a career-high) while also driving in 47 runs and stealing four bases as a lineup regular for the Reds. None of Cincy's lineup replacements are particularly attractive in DFS against Sale on Tuesday.
