Josh Naylor Fantasy

Cleveland Indians outfielder Josh Naylor will man left field and bat sixth during Game 1 on Tuesday against the Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole. Naylors power potential could give him some DFS upside for owners hoping to capitalize on Coles career-worst 1.7 HR/9 that he allowed during the 2020 regular season. With Tyler Naquin and Delino DeShields holding down the other two outfield spots, it becomes apparent that Bradley Zimmer and Oscar Mercado will have to settle into reserve roles during the short-term.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Josh Naylor left Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox in the eighth inning with an apparent injury. He awkwardly jammed his leg while sliding into second base after hitting a double. The 23-year-old was 3-for-4 on the night before being replaced by Oscar Mercado. More information about his status will come out following the game, but fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire regardless.

Outfielder/first baseman Josh Naylor, acquired by the Indians on Monday from the San Diego Padres, is penciled in to be the Indians' starting left fielder for the remainder of the season. While he has yet to exhibit his potential at the plate in the majors, he could hit over 20 home runs with decent batting average if given the opportunity to start in a full season. With this news, the Indians appear intent on giving Naylor regular at-bats which immediately enhances his fantasy value in both deep mixed and AL-only formats. At 23 years of age, dynasty managers should also keep Naylor on their radar to see how he performs down the stretch for the Indians in 2020.
