Candelario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

Candelario also struck out twice white the homer was his first hit in 12 spring at-bats, so it's been a bit of a rocky start. In any case, he should be locked in as Detroit's starting third baseman after slashing .271/.351/.443 last season with 16 home runs. Candelario is on a one-year, $5.8 million deal with the Tigers after agreeing to terms Tuesday to avoid arbitration, per Robert Murray of FanSided.com.
