Naylor hit a two-run home run in his only at-bat during a 13-2 win over the Rockies on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor did not get the start in the contest, but he joined in on a five-homer day by San Diego after coming in as a defensive replacement for Wil Myers. The prodigious 444-foot blast was Naylor's first of the season. It was also only his second hit over his past 12 at-bats.

Naylor is not in the lineup Friday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor doesn't have a hit since Aug. 19 and will stick on the bench Friday with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the mound for Colorado. Ty France will bat seventh as the designated hitter.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor went 1-for-1 before giving way to Jurickson Profar in the fifth inning of Game 1. Profar will remain in the starting lineup in place of Naylor in Game 2.

Naylor is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

With the Padres facing southpaw Marco Gonzales, the righty-hitting Ty France will get the start at designated hitter. Naylor has not started against a single left-handed pitcher this season.

Naylor is out of the lineup Saturday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old was recalled from the alternate training site last weekend but hasn't seen consistent playing time in the absence of Tommy Pham (hand), as he's started only two of six games. Naylor has a .308/.357/.385 slash line through 28 plate appearances.

Naylor will be on the bench Friday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor hits the bench after starting two straight games as the designated hitter. Fernando Tatis Jr. will rest his legs at that spot Friday, with Jake Cronenworth serving as the shortstop.

Naylor and Edward Olivares could see added opportunities at designated hitter or in left field after Padres manager Jayce Tingler announced Monday that Tommy Pham (hand) would miss 4-to-6 weeks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres intended for Pham to be their primary left fielder this season, but nagging groin and calf injuries have resulted in him making 10 of his 23 starts at designated hitter. Now that Pham's fractured hamate bone is expected to sideline him for most of what's left of the season, the Padres will presumably go with two of Wil Myers, Naylor and Edward Olivares as their primary options in left field and at DH against right-handed pitching, while Ty France and/or Jorge Mateo could factor in at either spot versus left-handed pitching. Naylor boasts intriguing raw power and has thus far shown the ability to keep his strikeouts in check at the MLB level, but he has yet to reach his full potential as a slugger. Through 295 career plate appearances, Naylor has slashed .250/.315/.403 (90 wRC+).

The Padres recalled Naylor from their alternate training site Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor will provide some extra insurance in the corner outfield for San Diego while Wil Myers (back) remains on the bench for Sunday's series finale with the Diamondbacks. The 23-year-old earned a spot on the Padres' Opening Day roster but saw little action, going 3-for-13 while appearing in six games before he was optioned to the alternate site Aug. 6.

Naylor was optioned to the Padres alternate training site Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor recorded just three hits in 13 at-bats during his time in the majors thus far in 2020. With rosters shrinking from 30 to 28 players Thursday, Naylor and pitcher Joey Lucchesi were the odd men out for San Diego.

Naylor went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a hit by pitch in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor was plunked by Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen in the eighth inning, and promptly stole second, but Treinen was able to prevent him from scoring. It's the first steal of the year for Naylor, who isn't known for his speed. The 23-year-old has mostly seen time off the bench this year -- he's batting .231 with no RBI and one run scored in 14 plate appearances.
