Naylor (ankle) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor will retreat to the bench for a third straight game due to a sore right ankle, but the lefty-hitting slugger likely would have ducked out of the lineup Sunday even if healthy with the Rays bringing All-Star southpaw Shane McClanahan to the hill. Ernie Clement will fill in at first base for Naylor.

Naylor was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Rays due to right ankle soreness, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor sat out Friday against Tampa Bay and is apparently dealing with an ankle injury that will keep him out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Owen Miller will take his place at first base and bat cleanup.

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 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.
