Naylor was removed from Saturday's game with High-A Lake Elsinore after being hit in the face by a thrown ball, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to eyewitnesses, the young Canadian didn't see a pickoff throw coming and ultimately took the throw right off his face. He was removed from the game immediately, although it's unclear how severe the injury is or if he'll miss any time due to this. Consider him day-to-day until more details emerge. Prior to this incident, Naylor was batting .305 with five home runs and 22 RBI in 22 games.

Naylor was traded to the Padres on Friday as the headliner in the return package for Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea, the Miami Herald's Clark Spencer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor was the top prospect in a very weak Marlins farm system, so it stood to reason that he would have to be included in any deal that netted Miami starting pitching help at the deadline. A 19-year-old first base prospect hailing from Canada, Naylor was hitting .269/.317/.430 with nine home runs and 10 steals (on 13 attempts) in 342 at-bats with Low-A Greensboro. Most impressively he has a very respectable 16.8 percent K-rate, which distinguishes him from many other highly-touted first base prospects in the lower levels. There is no reason to expect him to continue to steal bases at a useful clip as he moves up the Padres' organizational ranks but his power should start to show up more in games, with the potential for him to be a 30-homer threat in the big leagues. He should man first base for Low-A Fort Wayne over the rest of the season and doesn't figure to reach the big leagues until at least 2019.
