Naylor hits pinch-hit three-run shot vs. Giants
Bo Naylor went 1-for-2 with a pinch-hit three-run home run in a win over the Giants on Sunday. Naylor was called on to hit for Austin Hedges in the sixth inning with the Guardians trailing 3-2. He responded with a 378-foot home run that gave the Guardians a lead they would never give up. The 24-year-old is hitting just .205 on the season with five home runs, so he’ll need to do this a little more often to get back on the fantasy radar.
Meadows pulled from Sunday’s game due to injury
Parker Meadows was pulled from Sunday’s game against the Reds with a right hamstring injury. Unfortunately, that’s all of the information that we have at the moment, and may be the only information known before most leagues process free agent bids on Sunday night. The severity of the injury — as well as how much time (if any) Meadows may miss — is not yet known. Just something to keep in mind if trying to acquire the dynamic 24-year-old outfielder off the waiver wire.
