Naylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run against Baltimore in a 10-3 win Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor pushed Cleveland's lead to 10-2 in the seventh inning with a three-run blast to right field. The long ball was his second in as many contests following a 10-game stretch during which the catcher didn't log any extra-base hits. However, Naylor still hasn't recorded multiple hits in a contest since July 4, and he's batting just .180 (9-for-50) over 19 games during that span.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 8-4 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor took Bryan Sammons deep in the sixth inning for his seventh homer of the year. Naylor now has three homers and eight RBI over his last 16 games after registering just four long balls and 20 RBI in his first 63 games. The 24-year-old is trending upward and should continue to get everyday at-bats down the stretch.

Naylor went 1-for-1 with two walks, two runs and a stolen base in a 2-1 win against the Tigers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor scored both of Cleveland's runs in the victory, with the latter accounting for the winning margin. The backstop helped manufacture that eighth-inning score, working a walk to begin the frame, proceeding to steal second base and eventually crossing the plate on a single. Naylor is batting an even .200 (8-for-40) through 17 contests in July.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

Naylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor produced the Guardians' lone run when he took Jack Flaherty deep in the third inning. This was Naylor's second homer in his last five games, though his playing time has taken a hit lately as he's started just three of those contests. The catcher is up to six homers with 24 RBI, 26 runs scored, two stolen bases, nine doubles, one triple and a .207/.276/.350 slash line over 225 plate appearances this season. Naylor is likely to continue sharing the catching duties with Austin Hedges, as David Fry has gotten more looks elsewhere in recent weeks.
