Candelario was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Bruce Levine of 670 The Score reports.
The Cubs promoted the 22-year-old Candelario after Chris Coghlan (ribs) exited Saturday's game and was forced to the 15-day DL. Candelario rates as one of the Cubs' better prospects and was slashing an impressive .333/.452/.600 over 75 at-bats, but it looks like he'll primarily serve in a reserve role in his first stint in the majors.
