Naylor (back) will bat cleanup and play first base Friday against the Royals, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor hasn't played since leaving Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Tigers due to back spasms, but the issue has evidently subsided. That's great news for the Guardians, as Naylor is hitting .276/.332/.510 on the year.
