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.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Rockies.

After German Marquez walked Jose Ramirez with two outs, Naylor hit a two-run blast in the first inning to give the Guardians an early lead. He hit the ball hard in his second plate appearance, but Kris Bryant flagged it down on a nice play in right field. Naylor singled his third time up, giving him five multi-hit games this season, but struck out with the bases loaded in the seventh. He continues to split time between first base and designated hitter and is starting to heat up again, hits in four of his last five starts, after a string of just one hit and five walks over his previous 39 plate appearances.

Naylor went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.

Despite a .185/.267/.277 slash line over 75 plate appearances, Naylor has maintained a regular role between first base and designated hitter so far. He's added two home runs, nine RBI and four runs scored in 19 contests.
