The trade for Candelario answers that question- and likely means that top starter Marcus Stroman, like Bellinger, isn’t going anywhere.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Nationals, 44-62 and fresh off of last year’s MLB trade deadline Juan Soto blockbuster, are continuing to look to build up the league’s 10th-ranked farm system from the preseason.</p><p>Herz, a southpaw with a mid-90s heater and a nice changeup, is projected by many evaluators as a future bullpen option. Made has been riddled by injuries, though his quick bat speed and ability to play multiple positions is a nice addition to the Nats’ system.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As a result, they are looking at acquiring players who can hit the ball and put runs on the board. One of those players is Washington Nationals 3rd baseman Jeimer Candelario.</p><p>According to <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2023/07/23/mlb-trade-deadline-2023-10-biggest-questions-top-players-available/70452707007/" rel="noopener">baseball insider Bob Nightengale</a>. the Marlins believe the switch-hitting Candelario would be an excellent fit for the Marlins lineup. Candelario has shown significant improvement this season for the Nationals. He is slashing .257/.334/.478 and he has belted an eye-opening 15 home runs with 47 runs batted in.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-quick-hits-7-9-texas-rangers-vs-washington-nationals" rel="noopener">29-year-old Candelario</a> has never hit more than 19 home runs in any of his previous seasons, and he is a threat surpass that mark with ease.</p><p>The Marlins finally got back in the win category Sunday with a 3-2 triumph over the Colorado Rockies in 10 innings. Luis Arraez, the leading hitter in the Major Leagues with a .375 average, drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th. Arraez had 3 hits in 4 at bats, but he is a long way from the .400 mark that he was threatening earlier in the year.</p><p>If the Marlins were to acquire Jeimer Candelario, it appears that he would replace veteran Jean Segura, who has struggled throughout the year. Segura, a former All-Star, is hitting just .223 this season with 2 home runs and 19 RBI.</p><p>The Marlins had the second-best record in the National League at the All-Star break, but they are now on the outside looking in the National League Wild Card race.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

When the game picks up on Saturday, they’ll have to go forth without infielder Jeimer Candelario.</p><p>Candelario left the game with a right thumb injury after his first at-bat. Ildemaro Vargas replaced Candelario at third base in the bottom of the first inning until the game was suspended due to the weather.</p><p>After the game, Nationals manager Dave Martinez <a href="https://twitter.com/dougherty_jesse/status/1680043831654227968?s=20" rel="noopener">spoke about the injury</a> to his infielder. Martinez revealed that Candelario has a bone bruise in his right thumb, as reported by team beat writer Jesse Dougherty.</p><p>Martinez told the media that the thumb was originally struck by a ball during pregame warmups. After Candelario’s first swing, the thumb truly began to hurt. The Nationals third baseman will be reevaluated tomorrow.</p><p>“Hopefully we can be there tomorrow. Please, god,” Candelario <a href="https://www.masnsports.com/blog/candelario-injured-before-game-suspended-by-rain" rel="noopener">told reporters Friday</a>, via Nationals writer Mark Zuckerman. “Because I’m feeling really good and want to get going this second half.”</p><p>Candelario is in the midst of his first season in the nation’s capital. And so far, he is having a nice bounce-back campaign. The Nationals infielder has 13 home runs and 43 RBI this season while batting .261.</p><p>Candelario joined the Nationals as a free agent this past winter. He was non-tendered by the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/detroit-tigers" rel="noopener">Detroit Tigers</a>, allowing him to hit the open market. Prior to joining Washington, the 29-year-old played 590 games in the Motor City hitting 65 home runs and 245 RBI.</p><p>Candelario is owed a little less than $2.5 million for the rest of the season and is on an expiring contract. This could make him an attractive trade chip for the Nationals this summer. First and foremost, let’s hope Candelario makes a quick return to the diamond.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
