  • Guardians' Josh Naylor: Returning after three-game absence

    Naylor (general soreness) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Tigers.

    The Guardians held Naylor out of the lineup for the past few days while he contended with what manager Stephen Vogt had described as several minor injuries, but a stint on the injured list never appeared to be in consideration for the slugging first baseman. Naylor had been available off the bench Saturday and Sunday against the Tigers, though the Guardians opted to stay away from him to give him two true rest days. The Guardians will be hoping that the time off was enough for Naylor to recharge after he had turned in a lowly .130/.231/.174 slash line over his first seven starts coming out of the All-Star break.

  • Guardians' Josh Naylor: Drives in winning run

    Naylor went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Tigers.

    Naylor's RBI single in the eighth inning was the decisive play in this contest.

  • Guardians' Josh Naylor: Absent from lineup versus righty

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    The lefty-hitting Naylor took a seat in Tuesday's 10-8 win while southpaw Cade Povich was on the bump, but Naylor's absence Wednesday is more conspicuous against Baltimore right-hander Grayson Rodriguez. Naylor could be nursing an unspecified injury, but the Guardians have yet to provide any official confirmation on that front. Jhonkensy Noel was called up from Triple-A Columbus and will enter the lineup at first base Wednesday in place of Naylor.
