Naylor sparked the eighth-inning rally from the eight-spot, setting the stage for Kayfus’s go-ahead blast as Cleveland leaned on the bottom of the order to flip a tight game against Kansas City.

Naylor shows a cautionary tale: improved in O-Swing%, Contact% and Pulled Air% since July 1, yet the season’s results sit at a 74 wRC+. The data hints at better swing decisions even as performance lags; the underlying process could portend a rebound if the power and contact translate in the coming months.

Naylor contributed with two doubles, underscoring the Guardians’ rookie depth and potential power upside from the catching position as the season progresses.

Naylor’s presence behind the plate helped seal the late-game outs as part of Cleveland’s bullpen sequence. While not a marquee hitter here, his defensive role and occasional run-contributing at-bats add depth to the Guardians’ fantasy upside in two-catcher formats or deeper leagues.

Bo Naylor has struggled significantly this season, carrying a .168 batting average and being in a notable slump, which hampers the Guardians' offensive depth.
