Josh Naylor (ankle) at DH for Guardians on Wednesday
Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus left-hander Daniel Norris and the Detroit Tigers.
What It Means:
Naylor injured his ankle in the second game of Monday's doubleheader and was held out of Tuesday's lineup, but he did make a pinch-hit appearance. Naylor will be the designated hitter and No. 5 batter on Wednesday while Amed Rosario moves back to shortstop in place of Tyler Freeman. Owen Miller will be on first base again.
Naylor has a $3,400 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 11.0 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Guardians’ implied total (4.35) is No. 12 in the majors today. Among Wednesday's projected starting pitchers, Norris has the fourth-best strikeout rate (28.8%) this season.
