Tigers recall Jeimer Candelario from Triple-A
DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers have recalled infielder Jeimer Candelario from Triple-A Toledo.
Candelario, Detroit's opening-day starter at third base, has hit just .179 in 42 games for the Tigers this season. He hit 19 home runs a season ago.
The Tigers hope Candelario can bring some stability to the infield. He was acquired in a 2017 trade with the Chicago Cubs and hit well for the remainder of that season, but he hasn't been all that consistent with the bat since then.
