Jeimer Candelario's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Jeimer Candelario (toe) is unlikely to return this season, according to MLB.com. Manager David Bell stated, "It's looking more and more like he's not going to be back this year either. He's still having quite a bit of pain." The 30-year-old has been sidelined since mid-August after being hit by a pitch. Before the injury, the veteran posted a .225/.279/.429 line with 20 home runs and four stolen bases. Fantasy managers should expect Ty France to cover first base and Noelvi Marte and Santiago Espinal to cover the hot corner for the remainder of the summer. This afternoon, Espinal covered third base while Marte served as the designated hitter.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman/designated hitter Jeimer Candelario (toe) is still experiencing discomfort in his fractured left big toe and has been limited to rehab only, according to manager David Bell. Candelario was initially injured when he was hit by a pitch on his toe back on Aug. 18 against the Kansas City Royals, and X-rays revealed the fracture on Aug. 19. With time running out in the 2024 regular season and the Reds out of playoff contention, it seems unlikely that Candelario will be able to return for fantasy managers before the end of September. His injury late in the season has opened up playing time for newcomer Ty France and Santiago Espinal in Cincy. The 30-year-old switch-hitter did reach the 20-homer mark for just the second time in his career in his first year with the Reds, but he's hit just .225 with a weak .279 on-base percentage and below-average .707 OPS.

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that corner infielder Jeimer Candelario (toe) is still experiencing pain in his fractured left big toe, which isn't all that surprising. Candelario was put on the 10-day injured list just a week ago. With the start of September just around the corner, the 30-year-old switch-hitter is quickly running out of time to perform for his fantasy managers, and there's a chance we won't see him again at all the rest of the way. If he doesn't return in the season's final month, Candelario would finish his first year in Cincy with a .225/.279/.429 slash line, a .707 OPS, 20 home runs, 56 RBI and 47 runs scored in 112 games. With Candelario out, it's led to more playing time for Noelvi Marte at the hot corner, while newcomers Dominic Smith and Ty France have formed a platoon across the diamond at first base.

The Cincinnati Reds placed third baseman Jeimer Candelario (toe) on the injured list on Tuesday with a left-toe fracture and added infielder Amed Rosario to the active roster. Candelario is hitting .225/.279/.429 with 20 homers, 56 RBI, and 47 runs scored while adding four stolen bases in 112 games. The Reds added infielder Amed Rosario to the active roster after acquiring him off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rosario, who was traded to the Dodgers by the Tampa Bay Rays at the trade deadline, hit a combined .305/.331/.415 with two homers, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 stolen bases. Rosario will have some appeal to fantasy managers who need stolen bases as he joins a Reds team that has swiped 168 bags.

Cincinnati 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.
