EDGE Analysis
Naylor was carted off the field after taking a gruesome hit to his lower body during a collision June 27, and he later underwent surgery to repair multiple fibula fractures and ligament tears. The 24-year-old won't return during the 2021 season, but the team isn't yet sure whether he could be ready for spring training next year, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Naylor will undergo surgery Friday to repair multiple fibula fractures and ligament tearing, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Naylor was carted off the field after a collision in Sunday's loss to the Twins, and he'll miss extended time as a result. The team won't reveal a timetable for his return until after his procedure, but the 24-year-old could miss the remainder of the season. Harold Ramirez should continue to serve as the primary right fielder in Naylor's absence.

Naylor (ankle) hit the injured list as expected Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The move was an expected one, as Naylor was carted off the field Sunday against Minnesota after suffering an ankle fracture. The injury is bad enough that it will require surgery, and while he's yet to be officially ruled out for the season, that appears to be a distinct possibility. Oscar Mercado was recalled in a corresponding move.

Naylor will return to Cleveland on Monday for further evaluation after he received an initial diagnosis of a "closed fracture and dislocation" of his right ankle upon exiting Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Twins, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cleveland expects to reveal a clearer timeline for Naylor's return to action once his medical evaluations are complete, but since the 24-year-old is already being scheduled for surgery, he'll be at risk of missing the remainder of the season. With Naylor headed to the injured list, the likes of Bobby Bradley, Harold Ramirez and Bradley Zimmer should be locked into near-everyday roles for the foreseeable future.

Manager Terry Francona said Naylor suffered an unspecified leg fracture during Sunday's loss to the Twins, and the specifics of the injury remain unclear, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old was carted off the field after colliding with teammate Ernie Clement while pursuing a pop fly in shallow right field, and it's now confirmed he's managing a serious injury. It's safe to assume Naylor will be placed on the injured list, but the length of his absence won't be known until a more specific diagnosis is announced.

Naylor was carted off after appearing to suffer a leg injury while colliding with Ernie Clement during Sunday's game against Minnesota, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It looks like a serious injury for Naylor, given that he was taken off on a cart after rolling around on the ground in pain. Cleveland will likely provide a further update later Sunday, but Naylor seems almost certain to miss substantial time.
