Kansas City, Mo. – What do we make of Jeimer Candelario’s season?
Obviously, for him and for the Tigers’ evaluators, there wasn’t enough of it. Candelario went on the injured list Friday, effectively ending his season, with back stiffness.
“We took an MRI today and he has a back strain,” interim manager Lloyd McClendon said. “If we had a 162-games and not 60, we could probably wait it out. But it’s kind of tough with a three-man bench at this time of the year.
“He was going to miss the rest of this series, so we had to do it.
