Bo Naylor, Andres Gimenez Resting Against White Sox

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor and second baseman Andres Gimenez are both out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Chicago White Sox. Gabriel Arias will fill in at the keystone for Gimenez and bat eighth, while Austin Hedges is doing the catching and is batting in the nine-hole against White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet. Neither Arias nor Hedges should be much of a consideration in DFS for Friday's lineups. Naylor is off to a slow start, unlike his brother, in 2024, as he's hitting just .189/.280/.295 with three home runs and nine RBI in his first 30 games. Gimenez is slashing .248/.316/.333 with one long ball, 19 RBI, five stolen bases and 19 runs scored in 141 at-bats as Cleveland's regular second baseman. Both Naylor and Gimenez should be back in action on Saturday.

Bo Naylor Homers, Walks It Off Wednesday

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor smacked his second home run of the year during Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the division-rival Chicago White Sox, also delivering an RBI single in the 10th inning to walk it off. Naylor first went yard 438 feet to deep center for a two-run jack in the fourth inning, later driving in Tyler Freeman for the game-winning score. The 24-year-old backstop was one of Cleveland's top prospects for 2023 but is off to a slow start to the campaign, slashing .194/.324/.387 with two big flies and five RBI through 31 at-bats. The lefty-hitting Naylor remains on the strong side of a platoon behind the plate with Austin Hedges, and he will face two right-handers during a three-game set with the New York Yankees beginning on Friday. He belongs on all fantasy watchlists where he isn't rostered.

Bo Naylor Out Of Monday's Lineup

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor is not in the team's lineup for the series opener against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. Naylor will take a day off after starting in each of the team's last six games and will give way to Austin Hedges behind the plate. Hedges will hit eighth in the batting order against White Sox opener Tanner Banks, with David Fry serving as the designated hitter and batting third. The 24-year-old Naylor is off to a slow start in his first full big-league season, as he's gone 4-for-24 (.167) with one home run, two RBI, two runs scored and 12 strikeouts in his first 28 plate appearances and seven games for Cleveland, so he could probably use a breather. Fry is clearly the more attractive low-cost DFS play at the catcher position because of his spot in the lineup while facing a poor White Sox bullpen on Monday.

Bo Naylor Returning To Action Wednesday

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Bo Naylor (back) is back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, starting behind the plate and batting cleanup for the Guardians. It will be the 24-year-old's second spring training game because of back spasms that kept him out for around a week. But he's back now, and Naylor should be ready for Opening Day at the end of the month, barring a setback with his back. The left-handed-hitting Canadian played in 67 games last year and hit .237/.339/.470 with an .809 OPS, 11 homers, 32 RBI and five stolen bases for Cleveland. Naylor is expected to see most of the starts behind the plate for the Guardians in 2024 in his first full MLB season, and his combination of power and speed at the catching position gives him unique upside at a weak position for fantasy managers.

Bo Naylor Cleared To Catch Sim Game

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor (back spasms) has been cleared to catch Triston McKenzie's simulated game on Thursday. The young backstop was recently scratched from a Cactus League contest but the ailment appears to be minor in nature. Naylor made his MLB debut in the 2022 season but made a sizeable impact in his true rookie season in 2023. The 24-year-old hit just .237 but also launched 11 home runs, stole five bases, and posted an impressive .809 OPS in 67 games played. He will be the Guardians' primary catcher ahead of glove-first backstop Austin Hedges in 2024 and offers an enticing combination of power and speed that makes him a quality fantasy asset and a potential dynasty-league gem.

Bo Naylor Scratched With Back Spasms

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Bo Naylor (back) was scratched from the team's Cactus League lineup on Monday against the San Diego Padres due to back spasms. The Guardians are probably just being cautious with the young catching prospect early in spring training, but we'll have more updates on the 24-year-old backstop's condition once we know more. He's likely to be day-to-day. Naylor took over in Cleveland last year during the summer and hit .237/.339/.470 with an .809 OPS, 11 home runs, 32 RBI and five stolen bases in 67 games in 2023. Naylor, the younger brother of Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor, will be the team's starting catcher from the get-go in 2024. If he stays healthy and gets enough playing time, he has the potential to be a top-10 catcher in fantasy when all is said and done, mainly due to his speed.

Bo Naylor Returning To Starting Lineup Tuesday

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor (thumb) will return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener versus the Cincinnati Reds. The rookie backstop was removed from Friday night's game after two plate appearances with a right thumb contusion but will return out of the eight-hole while taking on Reds right-hander Hunter Greene on Tuesday in Cleveland. It's been a productive rookie campaign for the 23-year-old who is hitting .237 with nine homers, five stolen bases, a 13.4% BB%, and a .787 OPS across 217 trips to the plate. His removal on Friday snapped a six-game hitting streak, although Naylor has failed to record a multi-hit effort in that time.

Bo Naylor Leaves Friday's Game Early

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor was removed from Friday night's game with a right thumb contusion. He had one run scored on a walk, going 0-for-1 before coming out of the game. The 23-year-old has a .238/.340/.449 slash line in 2023. He should be considered day-to-day for now. If there's nothing serious with the thumb, Naylor should finish out the regular season in his regular role.

Bo Naylor Given A Rest Day

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Bo Naylor will take the day off on Friday against the visiting Kansas City Royals. The Guardians will give the young backstop a breather after a rough start in 2023. Naylor played in his first five MLB games in 2022, and in his next 14 games this year, he's gone just 7-for-47 (.149) with a homer, double, three RBI, seven runs scored and 18 strikeouts in 52 plate appearances. The 23-year-old Canadian, who is the younger brother of Cleveland first baseman Josh Naylor, still has a very high long-term ceiling at a weak position, but fantasy managers will need to be patient. With Naylor sitting on Friday, Cam Gallagher is behind the plate and batting ninth against Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch.

Bo Naylor To Miss Second Straight Game

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor will remain out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 23-year-old has missed back-to-back days, but doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury. It's likely just the organization trying to play matchups, so fantasy managers shouldn't panic yet. Cam Gallagher will start behind the plate and bat ninth versus left-hander Wade Miley on Friday. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option than Gallagher for this game. The expectation is that Naylor will return to the lineup once the Guardians face a right-handed starter.
