The Guardians announced Wednesday that Naylor (lower leg) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor is on the 10-day injured list to begin the 2022 campaign, but his rehab assignment as the minor-league regular season gets underway signals that he'll likely be able to rejoin the Guardians following a relatively brief absence. Bradley Zimmer and Oscar Mercado are expected to fill in as options in right field while Naylor is unavailable.
