Career History
Noah Naylor: Breaking News
Drives in two in loss
Naylor went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to St. Louis. Naylor closed a deficit to one run in the seventh inning with a two-run double. Those were the first RBI of the season for the catcher, who entered the game batting .143. Based on his strong finish to the 2025 season, when Naylor was a key driver (.862 OPS, 16 RBI) in a September push for the playoffs, the Guardians expected him to take a leap in 2026.
Idle again with lefty starting
Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Naylor will hit the bench for a third straight game and for the fifth time in six contests while the Guardians face another lefty starter (Matthew Liberatore). He'll be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Chase DeLauter, Kyle Manzardo and George Valera.
