Naylor (leg) remains out of the Guardians' lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second straight game he's missed due to left leg tightness. Gabriel Arias will handle first base while Naylor gets some more rest.

Naylor (leg) is out of the lineup Wednesday versus the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor was pulled from Tuesday's series opener in Chicago due to left leg tightness and is considered day-to-day leading into the second game of the three-game set. Josh Bell is playing first base and batting cleanup Wednesday with Amed Rosario taking a turn at designated hitter and batting second.

Bell left Tuesday's game against the White Sox with left leg tightness, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor went 1-for-2 before leaving for pinch-hitter Brayan Rocchio, with Rocchio moving to third base and Gabriel Arias shifting to first. The exit appeared to be precautionary, and for now Naylor should be considered day-to-day.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor put the Guardians ahead 4-1 in the eighth inning, clubbing a three-run home run off Carlos Estevez. Naylor has now homered in three straight contests (all go-ahead shots in the eighth inning), going 5-for-11 with seven RBI in that span. The 26-year-old Naylor is heating up after a slow start to the year. He's now slashing .214/.271/.389 with six home runs, 26 RBI and 11 runs scored through his first 140 plate appearances of the season.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 8-6 victory over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor hit a home run for the second straight game, taking right-hander Ryan Tepera deep for a three-run shot that scored Jose Ramirez and Tyler Freeman while giving the Guardians a 7-6 advantage in the eighth. Four of Naylor's five homers and all four of his doubles this season have come against right-handers, while he owns a measly .156/.206/.250 slash line against lefties. Due to his uneven splits, Naylor best serves as a matchup-based streaming option and daily fantasy value for those who want to chase home runs.

Naylor went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs scored, two walks and a steal in Friday's loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor saved his only hit of the game for a big moment, briefly putting Cleveland on top with his solo shot in the eighth. He was stuck in a 7-for-39 (.179) skid since his last home run April 26. He's now slashing .195/.258/.331 with eight extra-base hits and three steals through 132 plate appearances this season.

Naylor will sit Wednesday versus the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor will head to the bench as the Guardians face off with left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound. Josh Bell will start at first base while righty bat David Fry enters the lineup at third base, batting fifth in the series finale with Detroit.

Naylor is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor will take a seat Monday as the Guardians start their three-game series with the Tigers. Since the beginning of May, Naylor has gone 4-for-24 from the plate, notching two doubles, four RBI and a run scored while striking out eight times over six contests. David Fry will draw the start at first base and bat fifth in the series opener with Detroit.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor went 3-for-5 with a double while driving in three runs in the extra-inning loss to Boston on Saturday, and his reward is a day of rest against the Red Sox on Sunday. Josh Bell is playing first base and hitting cleanup in Naylor's absence with Jose Ramirez getting the start at designated hitter and Gabriel Arias at third base.

Naylor went 3-for-5 with one double, three RBI and one steal in Saturday's 8-7 loss against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor came through for Cleveland in the seventh frame, cutting the deficit to one and driving in Jose Ramirez, Myles Straw and Steven Kwan with a right-field double. The first baseman also swiped his second bag of the campaign, a feat that has become more common for the 26-year-old after recording six steals last season despite having three combined stolen bases prior to 2022. Naylor has been carrying a hot stick lately, going 9-for-25 (.360) in his last seven games after holding a .190 average leading up to Saturday's contest.
