Manager Stephen Vogt said the plan was to give Josh Naylor a three-game pass against the Phillies.
Guardians first baseman and cleanup hitter Josh Naylor was on the bench for the third straight game Sunday against the Phillies.PHILADELPHIA -- Manager Stephen Vogt said he’s hopeful that All-Star first baseman Josh Naylor will be back in the lineup on Monday when the Guardians open a two-game series against Detroit.
The left-handed hitting Naylor is currently in a 5 for 34 slump. He’s struggled against lefties, hitting .213 , and he hasn’t homered since July 9. Vogt said Naylor is not happy being on the bench this weekend. Naylor, himself, has kept himself scarce so it’s unclear what he thinks about this decision. He has been taking batting practice and worked out in the outfield before Sunday’s game.
