Candelario went 0-for-4 with 3 strikeouts on Thursday and is hitless through 17 at-bats this season. Harold Castro will move to third base in place of Candelario while Niko Goodrum makes the start at shortstop.
numberFire's models expect Candelario to bat .268 with 5 homers and 17 RBI over the rest of the season.
