With Miguel Cabrera Out, Jeimer Candelario Bats Third
6 years agoDetroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario had been settling into his role as the Tigers cleanup hitter as of late, but that was before the season-ending injury to Miguel Cabrera (biceps). In Wednesday's game against the Twins, Candelario moved up to bat third, planted squarely between Nicholas Castellanos and Victor Martinez. Candelario has arguably been the best hitter in the Tigers lineup with a team-leading .837 OPS and 10 home runs on the year. He's only owned in 32 percent of fantasy leagues, so if you're looking for an upgrade at third base, Candelario may be available.
