US EditionReds designate $45M infielder Jeimer Candelario for assignment after injury-plagued stint
- After activating Jeimer Candelario from the 10-day injured list on Monday, the Cincinnati Reds removed the infielder from their roster by placing him on waivers.
- The decision followed Candelario's limited 22 games this season marked by a.113/.198/.213 slash line and a lumbar spine strain that sidelined him since April.
- In December 2023, Candelario agreed to a free-agent deal with the Reds worth $45 million over three years, anticipated to be their regular third baseman, but his season was hampered by injuries and underwhelming performance.

- The Reds will owe Candelario about $22.5 million but chose to move on to improve roster impact as they chase postseason contention in 2025.
