  • Provides only offense Friday
    Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: The first baseman took Carlos Carrasco deep in the fourth inning, but it was all the offense the Blue Jays could muster in a 7-1 loss. Guerrero hadn't gone yard since June 6, and while he continues to scald the ball -- he's in the 99th percentile in average exit velocity and hard-hit rate -- a 5.9 degree average launch angle is costing him power. On the season, he's batting .281 with a career-low .406 SLG, eight homers and 31 RBI in 75 games. Rotowire.com Today, 8:56 am
     
  • Homers twice in win
    Candelario went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 5-2 win over Boston.

    Advice: Candelario had been battling tendinitis in the back of his right knee, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, but he was ready to go Friday with the help of the Reds' training staff. The knee didn't cool off Candelario's scoring bat. He homered in his first two plate appearances -- the second two-HR game this month -- and is batting .347/.351/.736 over 18 games in June.

  • Jeimer Candelario homers twice to lead Reds
    Jeimer Candelario launched a pair of solo homers in leading the Reds to a 5-2 win over the Red Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Remember when Candelario was having a bad season? He’s hit eight homers, knocked in 17 runs and even stolen three bases this month to push his season line up to .255/.310/.506. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:41 pm
     
  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homers in loss
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Friday in a loss to the Guardians

    Advice: This Blue Jays offense is a disaster. Guerrero’s solo shot was their only glimmer of offense before they loaded the bases in the ninth inning. The home run was Guerrero’s eighth, a very disappointing number as we near the midway point of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:50 pm
     
  • Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) returns to lineup
    Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) returned to the Reds’ starting lineup on Friday night.

    Advice: Candelario was pulled from Tuesday’s game due to general fatigue and tendinitis and then sat out Wednesday’s game as a precautionary measure. He’s feeling much improved after a couple of days off though and is back in there as the Reds’ designated hitter on Friday night. He’ll bat third against Kutter Crawford and the Red Sox.

  • Back in lineup
    Candelario is batting third and the designated hitter for Friday's game against Boston.

    Advice: Candelario had been battling unspecified tendinitis the past few days and missed the Reds' most recent game. However, he'll be back in action Friday, claiming DH duties. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:24 pm
     
  • On bench again Wednesday
    Candelario (tendinitis) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Candelario will be on the bench for the second game in a row while he deals with unspecified tendinitis. Reds manager David Bell already said that Candelario isn't at any major risk of landing on the injured list, so the expectation is that the veteran corner infielder will be good to go for Friday's series opener versus the Red Sox coming out of Thursday's team off day.

  • Battling tendinitis
    Manager David Bell said Candelario was removed from Tuesday's win over the Pirates due to tendinitis, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Candelario appeared to be in a bit of pain while running the bases during Tuesday's game, eventually leading to his removal during the eighth inning. However, the Reds' skipper noted that the 30-year-old infielder is not at risk of spending time on the injured list, and he seemed confident that the injury will go away relatively quickly. Should Candelario have to miss any games, Santiago Espinal figures to be the next man up to start at third base. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:09 pm
     
  • Jeimer Candelario exits game with tendinitis issue
    Jeimer Candelario was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Pirates with general fatigue and tendinitis.

    Advice: Reds manager David Bell told reporters afterwards that Candelario isn’t in danger of requiring a trip to the injured list. It sounds like more of a day-to-day maintenance issue than anything else. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:28 pm
