Jeimer Candelario

Jeimer Candelario and the Washington Nationals have agreed to a one-year contract.

Fantasy Impact

The former Tiger will join a rebuilding franchise and will likely have a chance to be an everyday contributor to the Nationals' lineup. The 29-year-old slashed .217/.272/.361 with 13 home runs and 50 RBI in 124 games last season.

Jeimer Candelario was not tendered a contract by the Tigers before Friday's deadline.

Fantasy Impact

Candelario was projected to make $7 million in arbitration, and the Tigers decided to go another direction. The team now has a hole to fill at third base.

Jeimer Candelario went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in a 4-3 win over the Padres on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Candelario has been red-hot of late, hitting .458 with four homers, five runs, and nine RBI over his past seven contests. The recent hot streak brings his season stat line up to a .215 batting average, 10 homers, 31 runs, and 32 RBI. Candelario is worth a waiver add while he's swinging a hot bat.

Jeimer Candelario went 3-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in a 12-4 win over the Padres on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Candelario posted his first multi-homer game of the season. It has been a disappointing season for the veteran, who is hitting just .203 with nine homers on the year. The Tigers are likely to ship him away at the trade deadline if there are any teams who show interest in his services.

Jeimer Candelario went 2-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and three RBI in a 7-5 win over the White Sox on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Candelario's two-run homer in the sixth inning had an exit velocity of 102.8 MPH and as part of a four-run inning. The veteran infielder is hitting just .191 with six homers, 26 runs, and 22 RBI over 225 at-bats in 2022.
