FACTS/ FLUKES: Candelario, Renfroe, Eovaldi, Fiers, Vázquez

Candelario breaks out ... After a frustrating 2019 shuttling between the majors, Triple-A and the DL, Jeimer Candelario (1B/3B, DET) is making the most of his latest opportunity. Subbing for an injured C.J. Cron (1B, DET), Candelario has gone .325/.381/.554 and has solidified a role as a Tigers regular next season. Is the breakout supported by skills?
