10/15/24 Yankees Fans Sure To Remember This Iconic Moment Ahead Of ALCS Game 2. Typically, the 2022 ALDS is a bad memory for Cleveland Guardians ' fans. Losing a series after being up 2-1 to the New York Yankees rarely comes with any positive flashbacks. However, Josh Naylor's “Rock the Baby” celebration is a moment that fans on both sides will never forget. Naylor hammered a ball to right center field, and as it cleared the wall, the first baseman wasted no time erupting into celebration. He formed a cradle with his arms and swayed them back and forth to signify the pitcher was his child. Who was that pitcher? The 2024 ALCS Game 2 starter for the Yankees, Gerrit Cole, of course. Josh Naylor rocked the baby his whole home run trot ?? (via @MLB ) pic.twitter.com/BSnVLn2el9

10/07/24 Detroit Tigers Take Game 2 of ALDS With Dominant Pitching and Clutch Hitting. The Detroit Tigers are riding the wave of momentum they created for themselves by storming their way into the playoffs by becoming the hottest team in the sport during the second half of the year. Despite many analysts and pundits thinking their storybook run would end against the dynastic Houston Astros in the Wild Card round, they were able to sweep the AL West champs and move on to the ALDS for the first time since 2014. The next frame is where perfection ended after Josh Naylor slugged a one-out double and Skubal hit the subsequent batter to put runners on first and second base.

9/03/24 Dynamic duo 'keeping it 100' in middle of lineup: Guardians takeaways. José Ramírez and Josh Naylor are the hitters Cleveland has turned to all season in big RBI situations, and the duo has delivered time and again. Manager Stephen Vogt said “RBI guys” like Ramírez and Naylor play the game at a different speed. “They're hitting when the money's on the line and you smell those runs, you want to drive them in for your team,” Vogt said. Entering play on Tuesday, Ramírez (105) and Naylor (100) are second and third in the majors behind Aaron Judge's 124 RBI, and are the only teammates in the big leagues with at least 100.

8/31/24 Guardians' Stephen Vogt shares crucial Josh Naylor injury update. The Cleveland Guardians had a scare during Friday's 10-8 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates when star first baseman Josh Naylor rolled his ankle running to first base on an eighth inning RBI single and had to leave the game. Suddenly in the midst of a neck and neck AL Central race, the Guardians can not afford to be without Naylor for any significant period of time. Luckily for Guardians fans, manager Stephen Vogt provided an optimistic update on Naylor's injury and gave a timeline for when he could return before Saturday's game against the Pirates. “He's good, it's a bruise,” Vogt said.

8/31/24 Guardians, possibly without Josh Naylor, look to top Pirates again. As the Cleveland Guardians continue their push toward the postseason, they could be minus a key contributor for the immediate future. An ankle injury to All-Star Josh Naylor dampened the Guardians' victory in the series opener against the reeling Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. The teams will continue their three-game interleague series on Saturday evening in Cleveland. Following a 2-for-35 stretch, Naylor has back-to-back 3-for-5 games, highlighted by a four-RBI night on Friday during Cleveland's 10-8 win over Pittsburgh.

8/29/24 Cleveland Guardians Manager Reveals Major Key for Star to Find Success. The Cleveland Guardians are back in sole possession of first place in the American League Central after they took down the Kansas City Royals in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon. Cleveland's bats actually came through in the closing innings, and they played the Guardians' style of baseball, which we all know and love.
