Jeimer Candelario Sitting Against Dodgers
7 months agoCincinnati Reds corner infielder Jeimer Candelario (neck) is not in the team's starting lineup on Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. Candelario will miss his second straight game due to neck stiffness, but he's apparently available off the bench for the series finale, so there's a chance he could return to the lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Memorial Day. With Candelario out again Sunday, Santiago Espinal will man the hot corner and bat seventh against Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Candelario has left a lot to be desired so far in his first year with Cincy, although he's been better in May, going 19-for-74 (.257) with two of his five home runs and 10 RBI in 20 games played. Espinal does have six steals in 113 at-bats in 2024, but he's hitting .195 with two homers and is a weak DFS option against Yamamoto.
