Jeimer Candelario Signing with Yankees
The New York Yankees have signed free-agent first baseman Jeimer Candelario to a minor-league contract on Saturday. Candelario was cut by the Cincinnati Reds after slashing .113/.198/.213 across 91 plate appearances to begin the season. He missed time in April with a back injury, but was released by the Reds last Sunday. Candelario has put together fairly decent numbers in the past. It's a low-risk move for the Yankees with the Reds still on the hook for the rest of Candelario's contract. Candelario figures to head to Triple-A until the Yankees need him. The switch-hitter isn't someone that needs to be rostered in fantasy leagues, but he would be a decent bench option for the Yankees down the stretch of the season.
