Angels' 11-Year MLB Veteran Elects Free Agency Jeimer Candelario wasn't an Angel for long, and he wasn't a very productive one during the 17 days he spent on the team's 40-man roster. Can...

Outrighted to Triple-A The Angels outrighted Candelario to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Impact Candelario was designated for assignment by the Angels on Saturday, and he'll remain in the organization in Triple-A after clearing waivers. He spent the second half of the 2025 season in the Yankees' organization with Triple-A Scranton Wilkes, and across 61 games he posted a .203/.289/.357 slash line with seven home runs and 31 RBI in 256 plate appearances.

Designated for assignment The Angels designated Candelario for assignment Saturday.
Impact Candelario won a spot on the Angels' big-league roster out of spring training but has since gone just 2-for-18 at the plate with three runs scored and eight strikeouts. He'll be jettisoned from the active and 40-man rosters to make room for Vaughn Grissom (wrist), who returned from the injured list Saturday.

Selected to active roster The Angels selected Candelario's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Impact Candelario earned a spot on the Angels' Opening Day roster after slashing .245/.339/.612 with four homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored through 56 plate appearances in the Cactus League. He will provide infield depth for the big club to begin the season while Vaughn Grissom (wrist) is on the injured list.

Belts third spring homer Candelario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's Cactus League loss to the Cubs.
Impact Candelario accounted for the Angels' first run with a solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. The utility infielder is tied for second on the team with three long balls this spring, and he's added four doubles, a triple, seven runs and seven RBI while slashing .250/.333/.625. Candelario is in camp as a non-roster invitee on a minor-league contract, but MLB.com projects him to make the Opening Day roster in a reserve role, and his odds of doing so increased substantially when Christian Moore and Kyren Paris were optioned to Triple-A on Saturday.

Getting reps at keystone Candelario was spotted taking grounders at second base Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact It remains to be seen whether the Angels will give Candelario a chance at second base during an exhibition, but Bollinger notes that his work at the keystone is an effort to improve his versatility. The Angels are presumably enjoying what they've seen so far this spring out of the 32-year-old, who is 8-for-24 with one home run, four RBI and five runs scored.

Grabs NRI pact from Halos The Angels signed Candelario to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Candelario was released by the Reds last season after slashing just .113/.198/.213 over his first 22 games. He signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees after that but never got back to the majors. The Angels are lacking in third-base depth, giving Candelario a chance to see action with the big club at some point.

Nets minors deal from Yankees Candelario signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Conor Foley of YES Network reports.
Impact Candelario slashed only .113/.198/.213 across 91 plate appearances with the Reds before landing on the IL in late April with a back injury. After making a full recovery, the 31-year-old was released by Cincinnati on Sunday, and he'll now get a chance to redeem himself in the Yankees' minor-league system. If Candelario is able to return to form at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he could join the big-league roster at some point to provide infield depth down the stretch.

Cut loose by Reds The Reds released Candelario on Sunday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact After none of MLB's other 29 teams were willing to put in a waiver claim for Candelario, the Reds will be on the hook for the money remaining on three-year, $45 million deal that the 31-year-old corner infielder signed in December 2023. Given his ample experience at the big-league level, Candelario shouldn't have much trouble securing a contract in free agency, though he might have to settle for a minor-league deal after slashing just .113/.198/.213 with a 31.9 percent strikeout rate over 91 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Dropped from 40-man roster The Reds reinstated Candelario (back) from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated him for assignment.
Impact Though Cincinnati has received underwhelming production at third base from Santiago Espinal and Christian Encarnacion-Strand of late, management apparently didn't view Candelario as a short-term solution at the position now that the 31-year-old is healthy again after he had been on the shelf since April 30 due to a lumbar spine strain. Before landing on the IL, Candelario was batting just .113 with a career-high 31.9 percent strikeout rate over 91 plate appearances, and he didn't fare much better in an extended rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville, with whom he produced a .211/.318/.333 slash line in 15 games. Now that he's been DFA'd, Candelario will be exposed to waivers, but he's unlikely to find a suitor that's willing to take on the money remaining on his three-year, $45 million deal, which runs through 2026. Candelario could choose to become a free agent once he clears waivers.
