Detroit — For third baseman Jeimer Candelario, who was recalled from Triple-A Toledo Wednesday — his second down-up this season — he isn’t trying to prove, or re-prove, anything to the Tigers. That’s not the point.
“You always have to prove something every day,” he said. “But I just tell myself, I have to prove it to myself first, then everything else will take care of itself.”
The Tigers, for the record, still believe Candelario can be a big part of their future.
“This is where he belongs,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. “He should be in the big leagues and I’ve told him that a thousand times.
