Guardians catcher Bo Naylor is back in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact
Naylor sat out of Wednesday's series finale versus the Royals but will return to hit eighth in Thursday's series opener with Baltimore. The young backstop has been productive at the plate, hitting .236 with nine homers, five steals, and a healthy .787 OPS across 61 appearances.
Despite a modest batting average, Naylor's eight home runs and 26 RBI in 61 games played this season make him a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues.
Fantasy Impact
While his strikeout rate remains a concern, his ability to contribute in multiple categories, including stolen bases, adds to his fantasy appeal. Fantasy managers should consider Naylor as a potential power source and run producer moving forward.
Bo Naylor had a productive outing in Tuesday's game against the Twins, hitting a home run and driving in two runs.
Fantasy Impact
Naylor's performance showcased his power potential and ability to contribute to the Guardians' offense. Although his season-long batting average remains low at .221, Naylor has shown flashes of power with eight home runs in just 53 games played. With continued opportunities, Naylor has the potential to provide fantasy owners with some pop in the home run category. Fantasy managers should monitor Naylor's playing time and hope for more consistent contributions moving forward.
Bo Naylor launched a home run in Friday's victory over the Blue Jays, driving in one run and scoring one himself.
Fantasy Impact
While the long ball was a positive sign for Naylor's power potential, his season-long struggles with strikeouts continued, as he added another one to his tally. With a .206 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 0.273, Naylor will need to make more consistent contact to improve his fantasy value going forward. However, his five home runs in just 43 games played show promise for his power potential.
Guardians catcher Bo Naylor is back in the starting lineup Monday versus the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
