Jeimer Candelario of the Cincinnati Reds Day-to-Day with Lower-Back Injury

Jeimer Candelario's current lower-back injury leaves his participation in the upcoming game against the St. Louis Cardinals uncertain. In his 22 games this season, Candelario has struggled at the plate with a batting average of .112 and two home runs. His recent performance shows no hits in the last three games, impacting his overall stats.

The Reds might need to rely on Noelvi Marte and Santiago Espinal at third base if Candelario is unavailable. Candelario's absence could also affect the lineup, possibly moving Spencer Steer into a more prominent role at first base. The Reds play the Cardinals at Great American Ball Park, and Candelario's status will be closely monitored.
