Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Moves to DH
Jeimer Candelario served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 3-2 win over San Francisco.Candelario, who started Opening Day at third base, moved to DH on Saturday when Spencer Steer was given a rest day. Steer is dealing with a wonky shoulder that's limiting him to DH for now. Candelario will see time at third base, first base and DH, while the Cincinnati Reds cope with Steer's situation and Austin Hays' calf injury. Gavin Lux, who is also expected to get starts at the hot corner, has been filling in for Hays in left field. Candelario is keeping himself in the lineup by collecting three hits, two walks and three RBI through eight plate appearances to begin the year.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Starts at third base
Jeimer Candelario started at third base and went 2-for-3 with a walk and three RBI in Thursday's 6-4 loss to San Francisco.Candelario was part of crowded corner infield spots during spring training, but a late injury to outfielder Austin Hays (calf) led to Gavin Lux playing left field Thursday. That should give Candelario a near-daily role at third base, first base or DH in the early going. He underwhelmed overall at the plate in 2024, his first with the Cincinnati Reds, but he managed to hit the 20-homer mark for a second consecutive season.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: May platoon at third base
Cincinnati manager Terry Francona suggested Thursday that Jeimer Candelario and Gavin Lux could be part of a platoon at third base, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.Francona wants to get as many competent bats into the lineup as possible, but that's shaping up to be a tricky task. Christian Encarnacion-Strand (three HRs, 1.000 OPS) has hit well this spring and looks like the best option for first base, which removes a potential path to playing time for Candelario. He could slot in at designated hitter if Spencer Steer (shoulder) is not ready for the start of the regular season. Lux can also handle second base or left field, which would allow both he and Candelario to be in the lineup against righties.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Swats first spring homer
Jeimer Candelario started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's spring game against San Diego.Candelario belted his first spring home run in the first inning. He missed some time after having a tooth pulled and returned to the field Sunday. Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona gave him seven at-bats over the two games since his return, as Candelario missed plate appearances while being sidelined the last week. He's played first base (three times), third base (twice) and DH (twice) during Cactus League games, and Candelario's primary home this season is not yet settled. Spencer Steer's shoulder injury, projected to land him on the injured list to open the season, allows for Candelario, Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Gavin Lux to be in the lineup. Those decisions will get trickier once Steer is ready to go.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Returns to spring lineup
Jeimer Candelario (tooth) will serve as the Cincinnati Reds' designated hitter and bat cleanup in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Angels.Candelario is back in the lineup for the first time in a week after having a wisdom tooth extracted. The 31-year-old should be ready to handle a near-everyday role once the season begins, with Candelario likely to move around between DH and the corner-infield spots.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Getting shot at third base
Cincinnati manager Terry Francona said Tuesday that he wants to give Jeimer Candelario a shot to start at third base, because it sets the team up better, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.Candelario will be one of several players who will see time at the hot corner during spring training. In addition to Candelario, the group includes Gavin Lux, Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Noelvi Marte. Prospect Cam Collier will also be in the mix. Candelario added weight during the offseason, but he said it's redistributed and wants to add another five pounds to help get him through the regular season. He missed the final month-and-a-half of the 2024 season due to a toe injury and appeared in 112 games overall during the campaign.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Yet to resume baseball activities
Jeimer Candelario (toe) has yet to resume baseball activities, MLB.com reports.Candelario is almost three weeks removed from suffering a fractured left great toe and remains limited to rehabilitation work due to lingering discomfort.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Still feeling discomfort
Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Jeimer Candelario is still feeling pain in his fractured left great toe, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.It's not a surprise to hear considering he's just a week removed from landing on the 10-day injured list, but it emphasizes that Candelario is not close to a return. The Reds presumably won't allow him to resume baseball activities until he's pain-free, and after that he'll need a little time to get ramped back up.
