Tyler Naquin and his leaky toe to be replaced by Daniel Johnson

The Cleveland Indians recalled OF Daniel Johnson for the 2020 season opener, replacing OF Tyler Naquin.

Naquin look terrific throughout Summer Camp, but a foul ball struck his toe several days ago and is still not game-ready.

Looks like Tyler Naquin’s foot needs a few more days of rest. He fouled a ball off his right foot on Monday and has missed the last few days with a right big toe contusion. Tito said they had to get it drained the other day. https://t.co/48fRP6zdTX

I’ve never had a toe drained before, but I imagine I’d prefer to stay off of my feet for a bit in the aftermath.
