Naylor is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor typically starts against right-handed pitchers, but he'll head to the bench with an especially tough one (Lucas Giolito) on the bump for Chicago. Jordan Luplow replaces Naylor in left field.

Naylor (leg) is starting in left field and batting eighth Tuesday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He left Monday's game after jamming his leg while sliding into second base, but it was apparently a minor injury. Naylor is hitting .353 with three doubles and more walks (three) than strikeouts (two) over his last 17 at-bats (six games). Cleveland appears committed to getting him semi-regular playing time over the final week.

Naylor left Monday's game against the White Sox after jamming his leg into second base on a slide, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor was having an impressive night at the dish prior to suffering the injury, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored. He was replaced by Oscar Mercado in left field and will be considered day-to-day until he's examined further.

Naylor is not in the lineup Sunday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor has received the bulk of the playing time in left field since being acquired by the Indians ahead of the trade deadline, but he finds himself on the bench for the second time in the past three games with southpaw Matthew Boyd pitching for Detroit. Oscar Mercado enters the lineup in left for Cleveland.

Naylor is out of the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor has two hits in his past 18 at-bats and will take a seat for the second time in the past three games. Jordan Luplow receives the start in left field for Cleveland, batting seventh.

Naylor is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor will once again head to the bench with southpaw Jon Lester taking the mound for Chicago. Oscar Mercado will work in left field Wednesday for Cleveland.

Naylor will be on the bench Saturday against southpaw Rich Hill and the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor has started against every righty while sitting against every lefty since he joined Cleveland at the deadline. He owns a .372 OPS with his new team, though that comes in just nine games. Oscar Mercado will be the left fielder Saturday.

Naylor will not start Wednesday's game against lefty Danny Duffy and the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor has started against each righty Cleveland has faced since he came over in a deadline-day deal with the Padres, but he's been on the bench against both lefties. Expect that platoon setup to continue going forward. Oscar Mercado takes over in left field Wednesday.

Naylor is expected to be Cleveland's primary left fielder for the remainder of the season, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor couldn't carve out regular at-bats in a crowded outfield in San Diego, but he's apparently viewed as one of the best options in a similarly crowded group for his new team. He hasn't shown much at the plate thus far in his big-league career, hitting just .253/.315/.405 in 317 plate appearances over the last two seasons, but scouts have long believed he'll have the ability to hit for both power and average. He's actually hit better against lefties than righties thus far, though his .314/.340/.431 line against southpaws comes in a tiny sample of just 53 plate appearances, so it's still quite likely he winds up on the bench frequently against lefties.

Naylor was shipped from San Diego to Cleveland on Monday as part of a six-player package for Mike Clevinger, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor moves from one team with an outfield logjam to another, though he at least joins an organization that's guaranteed to have a designated hitter spot (Naylor's likely future home) available beyond this season. Just what sort of a role Naylor is able to carve out in Cleveland remains to be seen, as he's yet to make good on his potential at the plate, hitting a modest .253/.315/.405 in 317 career plate appearances. He has the potential to hit for both power and average eventually, and he's still just 23 years old, so there's certainly a chance he develops into a useful piece for his new team.
