by Jesse Garcia | Reds Correspondent | Wed, May 22nd 9:24pm EDT
Jeimer Candelario went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in the Reds' 7-3 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Candelario's performance was a silver lining, contributing a solo home run to his season tally. This game highlighted a potential uptick in Candelario's power hitting, which has been somewhat sparse with only five homers over 43 games. His season batting average still hovers at a modest .223, and his wOBA at .289 suggests there's room for improvement. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Candelario for signs of consistency, as he could offer value in deeper leagues if he can maintain this level of power production and possibly improve his contact rates.
