Naylor went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor was on his way to a rather unimpressive game, but he flipped the narrative with a tiebreaking solo shot in the top of the ninth inning. Emmanuel Clase was able to protect the one-run lead from there. Since the All-Star break, Naylor has gone 9-for-28 (.321) with three extra-base hits and six RBI. The first baseman is slashing a steady .279/.330/.506 with 14 long balls, 53 RBI, 32 runs scored and two stolen bases in 276 plate appearances in a breakout season.

Naylor has earned steady playing time with a .280/.332/.500 slash line, 13 home runs, 52 RBI, 31 runs scored and 15 doubles through 68 contests this year.

He's continued to play well while seeing consistent time at first base, though he was the designated hitter Sunday.

Naylor went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-0 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor has homered twice in his last three games and five times in his last 15. The 25-year-old provided an insurance run in the fourth inning of Saturday's blowout win. Naylor continues to hit well with a .274/.328/.507 slash line, 13 homers, 47 RBI, 28 runs scored, a stolen base and 13 doubles through 62 contests this year. He's a near-everyday presence in the Guardians' lineup against right-handed pitchers.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor has gone deep three times in July, and he's up to 12 homers this year. His second-inning blast was ultimately all the Guardians needed in this win. Since the start of June, he's batting .261 (30-for-115), and he's seen fairly steady playing time at first base, though he occasionally sits in favor of Owen Miller. Naylor has a .273/.328/.500 slash line with 44 RBI, 27 runs scored, one stolen base and 13 doubles in 60 contests this year.

Naylor is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor will get a breather in the matinee after he returned to the lineup Monday following a back issue. He'll likely be in lineup for Game 2, but more information will come at the conclusion of the afternoon game. Owen Miller will get the start at first base and bat seventh in Game 1.

Naylor (back) is starting at first base and batting fourth Monday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
After he was a late scratch Sunday versus the Royals with back soreness, Naylor will be back in the lineup Monday. He's struggled to stay in the lineup recently while dealing with the back issue, but he currently owns a five-game hit streak, batting .500 with two homers, two RBI and three runs over 14 at-bats in those contests.
