Jeimer Candelario

As we all know, history has a way of repeating itself and, as it has been said by multiple people over the years, those who don’t know about the past are destined to repeat it. Well, if history is often replicated, that should be a good thing for Detroit’s Jeimer Candelario, especially after his disappointing first half. Roto Rage deemed Candelario a potential breakout candidate and the most underrated fantasy third baseman this season after he finished 2021 tied for league-lead in doubles while hitting .271 with 16 homers, 67 RBIs, 75 runs. That prognostication certainly backfired … at least for the first...

Harold Castro and Jeimer Candelario hit solo home runs and the host Detroit Tigers edged the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 on

Castro sent an 86.6 mph slider from McKenzie 364 feet, and the Tigers finished off the series with the Guardians with a 2-1 victory to give them a 2-1 series win. ...

Detroit — It was a day on for Harold Castro more than it was anything else. Castro has been the hottest hitter on the club. “Yeah, Harold was a hero when we didn’t get no-hit by (Guardians starter Triston) McKenzie last year,” said manager AJ Hinch, referencing Castro’s single with two outs in the eighth inning last Aug. 15 to break up the perfect game. “He’s going to get him today, too.”

Candelario is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians. Candelario is 2-for-22 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and nine strikeouts over his past seven games, and he will head to the bench Sunday. Harold Castro will man the hot corner in his place.
