Not in Sunday's lineup
Candelario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Analysis
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.

Blasts solo home run
Candelario went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in Friday's 8-3 win over Baltimore.
Analysis
Candelario gave the Reds a three-run lead in the fourth inning when he took a 91-mph fastball from Cade Povich deep to center field for a solo shot. Candelario has a .447 OPS across 74 plate appearances this season, but Friday's homer may be a sign of things to come for the 31-year-old.

Starts at first base
Candelario started at first base and went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Mariners.
Analysis
Candelario, who has one hit in his last 32 at-bats and is batting .117 this year, has managed to get regular opportunities all season thanks to infield injuries, with his 60 at-bats ranking fourth on the team. Just as the Reds got healthy and it looked like Candelario would lose playing time, the team placed first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) on the 10-day injured list Thursday. With Spencer Steer's shoulder limiting him to designated hitter, Candelario could be the primary first baseman while Encarnacion-Strand is out.

Exiting lineup, could lose work
Candelario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Analysis
After Austin Hays (calf) and Matt McLain (hamstring) were reinstated from the injured list Tuesday, the Reds are at full strength in the infield and outfield for the first time all season. Though he picked up a start at designated hitter in Tuesday's 8-4 win while Spencer Steer rested, Candelario will be the odd man out of the lineup Wednesday while Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Gavin Lux occupy the two corner-infield spots. While Candelario should retain a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching, he could be subject to more of a part-time role against righties now that Cincinnati has more appealing options to fill out the lineup with the returns of Hays and McLain. Candelario has yet to get going at the plate this season, slashing .125/.219/.196 with a 31.2 percent strikeout rate over 64 plate appearances.
