Jeimer Candelario (knee) back in Tigers' lineup Monday
Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Seattle Mariners.
What It Means:
Candelario was held out of Sunday's lineup due to some swelling in his left knee caused by a hit-by-pitch on Saturday. He will bat third Monday and return to third base in place of Harold Castro. Candelario will be preceded in the order by Jonathan Schoop and followed by Miguel Cabrera.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, opposing lineups are averaging just 56.6 FanDuel points per game versus Kikuchi, second-lowest out of the 18 listed starters on Monday. He owns a 25.6 strikeout percentage and 7.4 walk percentage this season.
