Naylor went 2-for-5 with a steal, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The Diamondbacks' slugger stole second base off reliever Grant Anderson in the seventh inning. Naylor has never been known for his speed, but thanks to a torrid start, he seems like a lock to overtake his previous career high of 10 steals with the Guardians in 2023. The 27-year-old has been enjoying his new home in Arizona, opening with a .322/.397/.475 slash line across 68 plate appearances.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor hit safely for a third straight game to begin the regular season, but his most memorable play Saturday was getting thrown out at third base for the final out of the fourth inning. He'd doubled to lead off the bottom of the frame and got thrown out by Pete Crow-Armstrong, as he tried to tag up and advance to third later in the inning. Naylor also singled in the ninth and scored on Eugenio Suarez's home run.

Naylor went 1-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's split-squad game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
After going hitless in his Cactus League debut, Naylor has hit in eight consecutive games and is 11-for-24 (.458) with four doubles and three RBI on the spring. He may not be able to replicate the defense of three-time Gold Glove winner Christian Walker, Arizona's starting first baseman in 2024, but Naylor's bat is expected to replace the production lost when Walker signed with Houston this offseason.
