The Los Angeles Angels have designated infielder Jeimer Candelario for assignment following a lackluster performance, where he managed just two doubles and struck out eight times in 20 at-bats. Candelario, who once led Major League Baseball with 42 doubles in 2021 while with the Detroit Tigers, signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Cincinnati Reds prior to the 2024 season. However, his offensive production has sharply declined, leading to his release. With the potential to clear waivers, Candelario may opt for free agency, allowing him to seek another minor league contract.
