The Guardians limped home after a 2-5 West Coast trip, but it wasn't Josh Naylor's fault.
Josh Naylor, who spent all of August on the injured list with a strained right oblique muscle, hit .320 with two doubles, two homers and eight RBI on the trip. He stole two bases and and score four runs.
Naylor was having a career season before he went on the IL on Aug. 1. He returned to the lineup on Sept. 3 and has resumed his career season as if August never happened. He’s hitting .306 with two doubles, two homers and nine RBI. He has a .878 OPS in 10 games since being activated.“His confidence is where it should be, as you can imagine,” said Francona. “I think guys put a lot more effort into what they’re doing when their on the IL. It’s just not seen by the public.
“I always kid them. When they come through a rehab with your trainers, they’re ready for the Olympics. They do a lot. “By his own admission, he probably hit more than when he was healthy. He’s come back and hit the ground running.”“Why?” said Francona. “It doesn’t do any good.”Cleveland, without Naylor hitting behind Jose Ramirez, hit .228 as a team in August. They scored 101 runs, the second fewest in the AL, and finished last with 15 homers.Naylor is battng .306 with 27 doubles, 17 homers and 88 RBI in 106 games.
Ramirez isn’t complain that Naylor is back. He hit .414 with two doubles, two homers and four RBI on the trip. In September, Ramirez is hitting .288 in 13 games.
