Drives in four Candelario went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs and four RBI in Tuesday's win versus Milwaukee.
Impact Candelario drove home half of Detroit's runs in the victory, plating a pair of runners with a single in the fifth inning and driving home two more with a homer to right field in the seventh. The 26-year-old has been hot over his last three games, going 7-for-12 with four extra-base hits and five runs scored. If he is able to keep up his current pace, his .319/.374/.541 slash line will blow away his previous career-best numbers.

Doubles, scores twice Monday Candelario went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and two runs scored in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Twins.
Impact Minnesota starter Michael Pineda only allowed three hits across seven innings, but two of them were doubles into the left field corner by Candelario. The 26-year-old infielder is enjoying something of a breakout campaign in 2020, as he's now batting .313 with an .890 OPS to go along with four home runs, 19 RBI and 21 runs scored in 36 games.

Swipes bag Friday Candelario went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins.
Impact Candelario had a base knock in Game 1, so he was 1-for-5 for the day. The steal was a surprise, as Candelario had stolen just six bases in 312 career big-league games to that point. Candelario is batting .358/.433/.585 with three homers in his last 15 games and has been batting cleanup for the Tigers, so while we can't expect many more steals the rest of the way, Candelario is showing enough to warrant consideration even in shallow fantasy formats.

Slugs home run Sunday Candelario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Twins.
Impact Candelario took Kenta Maeda deep in the fourth inning for his fourth home run of the season. The Detroit first baseman is 8-for-17 with two home runs across his last five games and now has an .866 OPS this year, making his slow start to the 2020 campaign look like a distant memory at this point.

Swats third homer Saturday Candelario went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.
Impact After reaching base three times (1-for-2 with two walks) and scoring two runs in the matinee to help the Tigers to an 8-2 win, Candelario took Trevor May deep in the third inning of the nightcap to get Detroit on the board and on its way to a sweep of the twin bill. The 26-year-old is having something of a breakout in 2020, slashing .298/.342/.500 with three homers and 14 RBI over 28 games.

Continues to produce at plate Candelario went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-5 win over Cleveland.
Impact Candelario was not one of the three Detroit players to go deep in the big win, but he was still productive at the plate. After a rough start to the season, he's now slashing .282/.325/.487 with 10 RBI and 11 runs scored in 21 games. His .812 OPS would easily be a new career best if he can sustain it. Candelario should continue to play regularly at first base with C.J. Cron (knee) out for the rest of the season.

Goes deep from leadoff spot Candelario went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Detroit changed up its lineup in this one, moving Candelario up to the leadoff spot for the first time this season. The 26-year-old responded with a strong performance, and he's looked better lately after a slow start to the year. Over his last 12 games, Candelario is batting .327 with two home runs, eight RBI and 10 runs scored.
