Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario isn't in the lineup on Monday for a matchup with the Chicago White Sox and left-handed starter Carlos Rodon. The third baseman has arguably been Detroit's best hitter this season. In 588 plate appearances this season, Candelario is batting .273 with a .349 on-base percentage and 16 home runs. It'll be Isaac Paredes starting at third base and batting eighth against the White Sox on Monday. Paredes is hitting .256 with a .340 on-base percentage and a home run in 47 plate appearances for the Tigers this season. He could be worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario had the biggest hit in the game in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk. He has now homered in two of his last three games and he has six home runs so far in September. The 27-year-old has done some good contact hitting this year with a .273 average over 139 games. However, he only had 10 home runs on the year before the calendar turned to September. He could be a much more valuable fantasy asset if he provided more consistent power to go along with his solid batting average. He's worth a look for fantasy managers in need of a reliable hitter down the stretch.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the team's 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. The home run was his 15th of the year and his fifth already this month. The 27-year-old has been swinging a hot bat so far in September. He had his first two-homer game of the year last Sunday and he's slashing .283/.345/.679 overall this month. Over 137 games on the year, he has a .273/.349/.450 slash line with 62 RBI and 71 runs to go along with his 15 home runs. He has limited upside for fantasy purposes, but he can help out fantasy managers in deep leagues and AL-only leagues who need a boost in batting average.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario had another productive game on Friday, collecting four hits in five plate appearances in Detroit's 15-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Candelario finished a triple short of the cycle, hitting a home run, a pair of doubles, and an infield single. He also drove in a pair of runs, reached base on an error, and scored four runs. The third baseman has enjoyed a strong second half for the Tigers, hitting .310 with a .372 on-base percentage and seven home runs in 188 plate appearances. Consider adding him to your roster if you play in a deeper league where on-base percentage is part of the scoring.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in the team's 8-6 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. The home run was his 11th of the year. Over 125 games this season, Candelario is slashing .274/.351/.431 with 51 RBI and 62 runs to go along with his 11 homers. The 27-year-old doesn't offer a ton of power and isn't much of a high-upside play in any regard. However, he does have some value in deep leagues and AL-only leagues. His .271 xBA ranks in the 79th percentile and he should continue to contribute a solid batting average most weeks while adding some decent runs and RBI totals.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario had a big day at the plate in the team's 13-10 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. He went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and three runs. The home run was his 10th of the year. Candelario has been swinging a hot bat in August. Over 16 games this month, he is slashing .300/.364/.583 with three home runs, 11 RBI and 12 runs. The power numbers have been nice to see this month as he had only hit seven total home runs over the first four months of the season. Candelario is a serviceable, albeit unspectacular, fantasy option for anyone in need of depth at a corner infield spot.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario helped the team defeat the Cleveland Indians 6-4 on Saturday. Candelario went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs and two RBI in the game. Candelario has had a fantastic month of August so far. Over 12 games this month, he's slashing .341/.420/.659with two home runs, six doubles, nine RBI and nine runs. He's currently riding a 10-game hitting streak. Candelario has been a bit streaky this year and his power upside is a bit limited as he has just nine home runs over 109 games on the year. However, he can help fantasy managers in batting average, RBI and runs while he continues to hit well.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario helped lead the team to a 9-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. He went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in the game. The home run was his eighth of the year and his first since July 24. Candelario has been solid at the plate so far this month. Over eight games in August, he is slashing .310/.394/.552 with six RBI and five runs. He's currently riding a six-game hitting streak and he's reached base in 14 straight games. Candelario can offer fantasy managers some help in batting average, but his power bat comes and goes. He's worth a roster spot in AL-only leagues and deep leagues for anyone in need of corner infield depth.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Luis Patiño outpitched Gerrit Cole, Brett Phillips hit a grand slam during a 10-run sixth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays avoided a three-game sweep by routing the New York Yankees 14-0 on Thursday. Patiño (2-2) allowed three hits in six innings. The 21-year-old right-hander, acquired in the trade that sent Blake Snell to San Diego last December, struck out eight and walked two. Cole (10-6) gave up a season-high eight runs — seven earned — on six hits over 5 1/3 innings and saw his ERA jump from 2.74 to 3.11. He had 10 strikeouts and two walks. Austin Meadows homered twice and drove in five runs for the Rays. Louis Head and Ryan Sherriff completed a four-hitter. All nine batters in the Rays’ lineup reached base in the sixth. It was the biggest scoring inning by Tampa Bay since a 10-run fifth at Miami on June 5, 2008.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario helped lead the team to a 17-14 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. He went 2-for-5 with a walk, two doubles, two runs and three RBI. Candelario has now recorded hits in 10 of his last 11 games. Over 94 games on the year, he's slashing .268/.354/.402 with seven home runs, 26 doubles, 34 RBI and 45 runs. He's someone who should be your radar if you play in an AL-only league or a deep league, but he's not a must-roster player in any format as he offers little power and doesn't particularly excel in any one stat.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Aaron Judge went from being a late scratch to hitting a tiebreaking single in a two-run 10th inning to help the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight day, 3-1 on Wednesday night. Judge was taken out of the lineup about 30 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. Although no announcement was made about why, the All-Star right fielder struck out in the fifth pinch-hitting for Estevan Florial. Judge returned to the team Tuesday after going on the COVID-19 injured list July 16. New York also had a big night off the field. The Yankees reached a deal to get All-Star slugger Joey Gallo from the Texas Rangers, a person familiar with the trade told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the move had not yet been announced and was subject to approval of medical records of the players involved. Greg Allen was hit by a pitch from Pete Fairbanks (3-4) leading off the 10th, putting runners on first and second. Judge... [More]

CLEVELAND (AP) — Franmil Reyes homered twice, the first a second-inning blast that bounced out of Progressive Field and almost dinged a bicyclist pedaling on a street, and the Cleveland Indians beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-2 on Wednesday. Reyes’ leadoff homer in the second glanced off the pedestrian bridge in left field and landed on the plaza area between the ballpark and Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. The ball traveled an estimated 446 feet. Reyes wasn’t done. He finished off Cleveland’s three-homer inning in the third with his 19th of the season, a 421-foot drive to center. César Hernández and José Ramírez also homered in the inning for Cleveland. Kwang Hyun Kim (6-6) gave up all four homers and lost for the first time since June 20. Zach Plesac (6-3) gave up two runs in five innings. Dylan Carlson homered for St. Louis.
