CLEVELAND -- Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor has been placed on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain, leaving Cleveland without one of its top power hitters for the time being.
Naylor sat out the team's past two games in Houston with the injury, which had been bothering him for longer.
The Guardians, who enter the weekend 2 1/2 games behind first-place Minnesota in the AL Central, made the move with Naylor - retroactive to Tuesday - on Friday before opening a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.
