Naylor went 2-for-4 with a triple, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.
Naylor put the Guardians ahead for the first time with his RBI single in the second inning. This game was his first multi-hit effort since July 4. The catcher has struggled to hit consistently in his first full year in the majors, batting .206 with a .628 OPS, eight home runs, nine doubles, two triples, four steals, 32 RBI and 32 runs scored over 83 contests. Naylor has alternated starts with Austin Hedges over the last six games, so it's fair to assume that the Guardians will deploy a timeshare behind the dish going forward, though it doesn't appear to be a strict platoon situation.
