Jeimer Candelario - Page 11 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Hits go-ahead two-run homer Candelario went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's victory over Atlanta.

Impact Candelario's two-run home gave the Nationals a 4-2 lead in the sixth and marked the third baseman's first long ball of June. Coming into the contest, the 29-year-old had just one hit in his last 20 at-bats, so his production Sunday could be a sign he's turning things around. Candelario has played in 61 of the team's first 64 contests, so he figures to get plenty of opportunities to snap out of his recent offensive slump.

Big day against Dodgers Candelario went 2-for-3 with two walks, a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Impact He took Noah Syndergaard deep in the fifth inning for his seventh homer of the year, but his seventh-inning steal was his first of 2023. Candelario turned things around in a big way in the second half of May, slashing .404/.485/.737 over his last 15 games with three homers and 11 RBI, and while the 29-year-old was signed in the offseason to be something of a stopgap at third base, he's proving to be a steadying force on a young Nationals infield.

Not in Sunday's lineup Candelario is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Royals.

Impact Candelario is out of the lineup for just the third time in 2023, and he's performed well in May with an .876 OPS over his 86 at-bats. Michael Chavis is making the start at third base and will hit seventh.

Big game against former club Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Impact His fourth-inning solo shot off Alex Faedo got the Nationals on the board, and Candelario then wrapped up the scoring in the eighth with an RBI double. The switch-hitting third baseman is on fire right now, reeling off five multi-hit performances in the last six games with four doubles, a triple and two homers among his 12 hits. The surge has boosted Candelario's slash line on the season up to .253/.310/.447.

Impact Candelario has gone 5-for-7 in his last two games after mustering just three hits in his previous eight contests. He's now slashing .234/.298/.390 with four home runs through 171 plate appearances this season.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Sunday's lineup Candelario (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old was diagnosed with dehydration after Friday's matchup with the Diamondbacks and was held out of Saturday's starting nine, and he won't rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale. According to Zuckerman, Candelario feeling much better and should be available off the bench Sunday, and he also expected to start Monday in San Francisco.

Two hits, two RBI in win Candelario went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Candelario got the scoring started off Johan Ovideo on Sunday, smacking a two-out, two-run double in the first inning to give the Nats an early lead. Candelario has cooled off following a fast start to the season. Including Sunday's multi-hit effort, he's gone 4-for-27 over his last seven games. Candelario should continue to see an everyday role as Washington's third baseman, but it's hard to see him having consistent fantasy value in one of the league's weaker lineups. He's now slashing .239/.292/.404 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored through 120 plate appearances.
