Angels' Jeimer Candelario: Grabs NRI pact from Halos
The Angels signed Candelario to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Candelario was released by the Reds last season after slashing just .113/.198/.213 over his first 22 games. He signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees after that but never got back to the majors. The Angels are lacking in third-base depth, giving Candelario a chance to see action with the big club at some point.

Yankees' Jeimer Candelario: Nets minors deal from Yankees
Candelario signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Conor Foley of YES Network reports.
Candelario slashed only .113/.198/.213 across 91 plate appearances with the Reds before landing on the IL in late April with a back injury. After making a full recovery, the 31-year-old was released by Cincinnati on Sunday, and he'll now get a chance to redeem himself in the Yankees' minor-league system. If Candelario is able to return to form at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he could join the big-league roster at some point to provide infield depth down the stretch.

Jeimer Candelario: Cut loose by Reds
The Reds released Candelario on Sunday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
After none of MLB's other 29 teams were willing to put in a waiver claim for Candelario, the Reds will be on the hook for the money remaining on the 31-year-old's three-year, $45 million deal, which he signed in December 2023. Given his extensive big-league experience, Candelario shouldn't have much trouble landing with a new club, though he might have to settle for a minor-league deal after slashing just .113/.198/.213 with a 31.9 percent strikeout rate over 91 plate appearances with the Reds this season.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Dropped from 40-man roster
The Reds reinstated Candelario (back) from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated him for assignment.
Though Cincinnati has received underwhelming production at third base from Santiago Espinal and Christian Encarnacion-Strand of late, management apparently didn't view Candelario as a short-term solution at the position now that the 31-year-old is healthy again after he had been on the shelf since April 30 due to a lumbar spine strain. Before landing on the IL, Candelario was batting just .113 with a career-high 31.9 percent strikeout rate over 91 plate appearances, and he didn't fare much better in an extended rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville, with whom he produced a .211/.318/.333 slash line in 15 games. Now that he's been DFA'd, Candelario will be exposed to waivers, but he's unlikely to find a suitor that's willing to take on the money remaining on his three-year, $45 million deal, which runs through 2026. Candelario could choose to become a free agent once he clears waivers.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Begins rehab assignment
Candelario (back) started at third base and went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double and an RBI in a rehab game with the ACL Reds on Monday.
Candelario opened a rehab assignment and played five innings in the field. He's expected to remain with the ACL Reds for at least one more game before moving to Triple-A Louisville. The corner infielder/DH is not expected to step into a starting role upon his return, but that could change depending on injuries. A spot at third base could be waiting until Noelvi Marte (oblique) is ready to come off the IL.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Rehab assignment on tap
Candelario (back) will begin a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Monday, MLB.com reports.
Candelario is expected to play a couple of games in the ACL before moving to Triple-A Louisville for an unspecified number of at-bats. He's been dealing with the back issue since late April. Prior to landing on the 10-day injured list, Candelario had lost a regular spot in the starting lineup and was batting .113 over 22 games.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Plays catch Thursday
Candelario (back) played catch on the field at Great American Ball Park on Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Candelario has been shelved since late April with a lumbar spine strain and last week was given an epidural to help speed along the recovery process. He's finally ready to begin ramping things back up, but a timetable for the infielder's return has not yet been established.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Gets injection for back
Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that Candelario (spine) received an epidural to address his lumbar strain, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Francona noted that Candelario has made no notable progress in his recovery since landing on the injured list last Wednesday, and the Reds will wait for the injection to take full effect before determining his next steps. Before being shut down with the injury, the veteran corner infielder had gotten off to a miserable start to the season, slashing just .113/.198/.213 with a 31.9 percent strikeout rate over 91 plate appearances.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: No timetable for return
Candelario (back) said Thursday that there's no set rehab plan or timeline for his return, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Candelario landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a lumbar spine strain and it sounds like it could be a lengthy absence for the veteran infielder. The switch hitter had seen his playing time dip prior to the injury and is sporting a lowly .113/.198/.213 batting line over 91 plate appearances this season.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Out with lumbar strain
The Reds placed Candelario on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a lumbar spine strain.
Candelario informed the Reds earlier this week that he was dealing with a lower-back issue, and the 31-year-old corner infielder was diagnosed with a strain after being sent in for further evaluation. Even before the injury surfaced, Candelario had played himself out of an everyday role, slashing just .113/.198/.213 over 91 plate appearances. Cincinnati recalled infielder Tyler Callihan to replace Candelario on the 26-man active roster.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Dealing with back issue
Manager Terry Francona said Tuesday that Candelario alerted the Reds about a lower back issue, and the team is having it looked at, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Francona had already said earlier in the day that Candelario's role was going to be reduced, but the back issue could help explain the veteran infielder's early-season struggles at the plate. Through 91 plate appearances, Candelario is slashing .113/.198/.213 with four extra-base hits, 10 RBI and a 9:29 BB:K. Consider the 31-year-old day-to-day for now.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Getting benched
Cincinnati manager Terry Francona spoke to Candelario on Monday about a reduced role due to an early-season slump, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. "We tried to explain to him, too, that you can't chase hits. That's a hard way to play," Francona said.
This move was a long time coming and forecasted over the last week. Candelario, who is batting .113 with a .411 OPS over 22 games, managed to avoid being benched earlier while the Reds navigated injuries. Now that the roster is in better shape -- Spencer Steer is back playing the field following a bout of shoulder inflammation, Noelvi Marte is ripping it up since his promotion, and Gavin Lux no longer needs to cover left field since Austin Hays was activated off the injured list -- Candelario will have to take advantage opportunities when presented to him to climb back into a rotation at first base, third base or DH.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Sitting again Monday
Candelario is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Candelario isn't starting for the second straight day, as the Reds are running it back with Spencer Steer at first base and Noelvi Marte at third against Max Meyer after Cincinnati hung 24 runs on the Orioles in Sunday's win. Candelario is slashing just .125/.263/.375 over the last seven days.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Not in Sunday's lineup
Candelario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Candelario has a double and a homer in his past two games, but he has only one other hit in his last 11 contests. Spencer Steer is starting at first base for the first time this season after playing through a shoulder issue to start the year.
