Two hits, two RBI in win Candelario went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Candelario got the scoring started off Johan Ovideo on Sunday, smacking a two-out, two-run double in the first inning to give the Nats an early lead. Candelario has cooled off following a fast start to the season. Including Sunday's multi-hit effort, he's gone 4-for-27 over his last seven games. Candelario should continue to see an everyday role as Washington's third baseman, but it's hard to see him having consistent fantasy value in one of the league's weaker lineups. He's now slashing .239/.292/.404 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored through 120 plate appearances.

Signs with Nationals Candelario and the Nationals agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Candelario was non-tendered by the Tigers after a down season in 2022, which saw him hit just .217/.272/.361 with 13 homers. He's found himself in a great spot to try to launch a bounceback campaign, as his primary competition for playing time at third base will be Carter Kieboom, a career .197/304/.285 hitter who missed most of last season due to Tommy John surgery. A better 2023 for Candelario isn't too tough to envision, as he hit a strong .278/.356/.458 across the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Sits again Saturday Candelario remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Twins.

Impact Candelario's age-28 season has been a disappointing one, as his .210/.267/.360 slash line (78 wRC+) represents a significant drop from the .278/.356/.458 line (125 wRC+) he managed over the previous two years. He'll sit for the second straight game, with Brendon Davis getting the nod at third base.
