2023 Fantasy Outlook
Like a lot of Detroit hitters, Candelario mostly struggled in 2022. He batted just .159 in April and .210 in May, and while he was a bit better later in the year, Candelario never really got going, finishing with a .217 average. His playing time was trimmed a bit as a result, as he went from 149 games played in 2021 to 124 in 2022. Candelario's OPS dipped precipitously as well, falling from .794 to .633. The new Tigers regime non-tendered him, but he landed on his feet with a one-year, $5 million deal in Washington, where he could play every day. He has at least shown that he's a solid if not spectacular big leaguer, batting .271 or better in 2020 and 2021. He also hit 16 home runs and tallied 67 RBI during that 2021 campaign, and now Candelario goes from the worst park for home runs in the league per Statcast's park factors (Detroit) to the 11th best park (Washington).

Resting Sunday
Candelario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Candelario will take a seat for just the third time in May, giving way at third base to Michael Chavis. The 29-year-old has gotten off to a strong start to the season and has performed well in May in particular, accruing an .876 OPS so far this month.

2017
Candelario had been all over the map heading into the 2021 season. He had just one full season under his belt, and struggled through it despite 19 homers and 78 runs scored. He showed a surprising bat in the 2020 season, but got off to a slow start in 2021 and had just five homers, 24 RBI and a .262 average to show for his efforts at the break. The Tigers stuck with him, and Candelario rewarded them with 11 second-half homers with 43 RBI and a .282 average while reducing his strikeout rate five percentage points. While 2021 was ultimately a happy medium statistically between his surprising 2020 season and his 2018 campaign, last year's second half shows there there could be more upside here. The playing time is all but guaranteed for him as long as he is able to avoid injuries. Beware that strong second half is pushing up his draft cost this winter. Candelario reaching the 20-homer plateau for the first time does seem like a safe bet.
