Jeimer Candelario homers in tight Reds victory over Cubs
by Chris Schommer | Reds Correspondent | Sun, Jun 9th 7:58am EDT
Jeimer Candelario went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Reds' 4-3 win over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed crucially to the narrow victory, showcasing his power potential. Despite a modest .238 batting average this season, Candelario's ability to change the game with one swing remains an asset for fantasy managers. With nine homers and 26 RBI through 57 games, he offers sporadic production, primarily valuable in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against favorable matchups. His low walk rate and high strikeout rate limit his on-base potential, making him a risky play in formats that penalize for strikeouts.
