Candelario is starting at third base and hitting sixth Saturday against the Indians.
His first start with the Tigers comes against Corey Kluber, which obviously won't be an easy assignment for the 23-year-old switch hitter. It's starting to look like the Tigers are clearing the way for Candelario to serve as the primary third baseman down the stretch. Nick Castellanos is starting at DH in this one, but was also getting schooled in right field prior to the game, so it seems like a position change may be in the works. Candelario hit .265/.343/.484 with 15 home runs in 407 at-bats across stops with the Cubs' and Tigers' Triple-A affiliates.
