Tallies three RBI Wednesday Candelario went 2-for-5 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Twins.
Impact Candelario drove in three of Detroit's 17 runs in the series-clinching win. The 27-year-old infielder is now up to 34 RBI this season, and fantasy managers would certainly like to see more in that category the rest of the way. Candelario is batting a solid .268 and usually occupies a spot in the middle of the team's order, so he's certainly capable of boosting his counting stats, especially if his teammates are locked in like they were Wednesday.

Swats seventh homer Candelario went 1-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Royals.
Impact He took Carlos Hernandez deep in the third inning, helping stake the Tigers to a 5-0 lead that Casey Mize and the bullpen couldn't make stick. Candelario hasn't had the breakout some people anticipated after his strong 2020 performance, but he may be finding that form again -- he's hit safely in seven straight games, batting .375 (9-for-24) with two of his seven homers on the year.

Goes deep in win Candelario went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an RBI double in Sunday's 7-0 win over Minnesota.
Impact Candelario provided his RBI double in the third inning to cap off a three-run rally. He added extra insurance in the seventh inning with his sixth homer of the season. The 27-year-old has added 21 doubles, 27 RBI, 39 runs scored and a .264/.347/.389 slash line through 354 plate appearances. He remains a bit on the soft-hitting side, but he's gotten on base at a healthy clip in 2021.

Doubles twice in win Candelario went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and a run scored in Monday's win over the Rangers.
Impact Candelario continued a good recent run, as he now has six hits in his last 11 at-bats, pushing his season average up to .270. The infielder doesn't offer a ton of power, as he only has four home runs in 74 games this year, but he's been one of Detroit's most consistent hitters since the beginning of 2020. He should remain in the lineup most days moving forward and produce decent counting stats.

The 27-year-old had a hot stretch in May, but he's since leveled off with a .265/.347/.369 slash line, four home runs, 23 RBI, 33 runs scored and 17 doubles through 314 plate appearances this year.

Reaches base three times in win Candelario went 1-for-3 with two talks, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Royals.
Impact After missing about a week due to a personal matter and then being placed on the COVID-19 injured list to undergo health protocols, Candelario has collected hits in each of his first two games back. The infielder never really wows you with his production, but he's been steady for the Tigers since the start of last season. He should occupy a regular lineup spot now that he's back in the fold.
