Terry Francona shows he's not messing around and isn't afraid to hold players accountable with the Jeimer Candelario benching.

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona spoke to reporters ahead of Wednesday's doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals. He provided an update on outfielder Austin Hays, who had an MRI earlier in the week.

The Reds have been waiting for corner infielder Jeimer Candelario to get hot and show some consistent production. That hasn't happened, and Candelario is going to the bench while manager Terry Francona gives regular playing time to Noelvi Marte at third base and Spencer Steer at first base.
