Filling in at first base
Candelario started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.
Analysis
Candelario made a second straight start at first base with Christian Encarnacion-Strand unavailable due to back and hamstring injuries. However, Candelario is 1-for-25 over the last seven games.

Logs first homer
Candelario started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Pirates.
Analysis
The Reds' first three batters walked to open the bottom of the first inning, setting up a possible big inning, but a run-scoring double-play had the potential to limit the damage. That's when Candelario picked up his mates with his first home run of the season. He entered the game with just four hits in his previous 40 at-bats before delivering those two-out RBI. Candelario's slump has not cost him too much playing time, but that could change next week when left fielder Austin Hays (calf) is due back. Hays' return will free up Gavin Lux to potentially move from the outfield to third base.

Sitting amidst slump
Candelario is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Francisco.
Analysis
Candelario is hitless over his last four games and is batting just .140 on the season, so he will get a day off to regroup. Santiago Espinal will cover third base and bat second for the Reds on Wednesday.

Hitless stretch continues
Candelario started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Giants.
Analysis
Candelario's stretch of futility reached 15 at-bats without a hit, and his average dropped to .140. His main competitor for playing time at third base, Gavin Lux, moved to second base to cover for Matt McLain (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. That seemingly benefits Candelario; however, along with the McLain transaction, the Reds recalled third baseman Noelvi Marte from Triple-A Louisville, and he could eat into Candelario's opportunities.
