Jeimer Candelario (/ˈdʒeɪmər/ JAY-mer; born November 24, 1993) is an American professional baseball third baseman and first baseman for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Washington Nationals, and Cincinnati Reds. He has played for the Dominican Republic national baseball team.
Candelario was born in New York City and moved to the Dominican Republic when he was five years old so that his father could open a baseball training center.
Candelario signed with the Chicago Cubs on November 20, 2010. He made his professional debut the next year with the Dominican Summer League Cubs. Candelario spent 2012 with the Boise Hawks of the Low–A Northwest League and the 2013 season with the Kane County Cougars of the Single–A Midwest League. He spent 2014 with Kane County and the Daytona Cubs. He started 2015 with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the High–A Carolina League and was promoted to the Tennessee Smokies of the Double–A Southern League during the season. The Cubs added him to their 40-man roster after the season.
With the Iowa Cubs in 2016, Candelario batted .333 in his first 25 games for the Iowa Cubs of the Triple–A Pacific Coast League.
The Cubs promoted Candelario to the major league team on July 3, 2016, to replace Chris Coghlan, who was placed on the disabled list. He made his major-league debut the same day, against the New York Mets. He was optioned back to Iowa on July 9. Candelario appeared in five games for the Cubs in 2016 and finished with a .091 batting average. The Cubs went on to win the 2016 World Series. Candelario was not included on the Cubs' postseason roster, but was still on the 40-man roster at the time and won his first World Series title.
On July 31, 2017, the Cubs traded Candelario with Isaac Paredes and a player to be named later or cash considerations to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Alex Avila and Justin Wilson. The Tigers assigned him to the Toledo Mud Hens of the Triple-A International League. On August 7, the Tigers promoted Candelario to the major leagues from Toledo. With the 2017 Tigers, Candelario went 31-for-94 (.330) while hitting 2 home runs and driving in 13.
Candelario began the 2018 as the Tigers’ regular third baseman. On May 14, he was placed on the 10-day disabled list with left wrist tendinitis. On May 26, in just his second game after returning from the disabled list, Candelario had the first multiple-homer game of his career as he went deep in his first two at-bats against Chicago White Sox starter Hector Santiago. For the 2018 season, Candelario hit .224 with 19 home runs and 54 RBIs.
In an 11-inning contest against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31, 2019, Candelario had five hits in a game for the first time in his career. After struggling to a .192 batting average with 46 strikeouts in his first 146 at-bats of 2019, Candelario was optioned to Toledo. He was called up towards the end of the season. Overall, he finished the season hitting .203 with eight home runs and 32 RBIs.
