Guardians injury updates on Josh Naylor, Tyler Freeman, Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie
Columbus, Ohio — The Guardians have a growing list of injuries as they placed two players on the 10-day injured list on Friday.
Manager Terry Francona stated that Josh Naylor’s MRI on Thursday showed an oblique strain. Naylor initially disclosed the injury before Tuesday’s match in Houston. Naylor may be out for three to six weeks, according to Cleveland’s captain.
That’s really hesitant, Francona remarked. “It’s good that he acknowledges that he feels a little better already.”
However, according to Francona, oblique strains are not the same as calf or quad strains, which sometimes allow a player to play through them once they start to feel better.
Francona remarked, “We’re going to have to watch him, but we don’t want to slow him down.” “We’ll do a weekly recheck on him.”

Quickstop On Wednesday night, Tyler Freeman’s injured right shoulder underwent an MRI. During an early at-bat against Houston’s Framber Valdez, Freeman left the game due to shoulder pain. However, the training staff at Guardians has given positive updates regarding his prognosis.
Francona stated, “He’s good structurally, which is really good because he had surgery there.” Despite having a strained muscle, he is already working in the training room today. Additionally, on Sunday, he will undergo another examination and might begin baseball-related activities.
Peyton Battenfield, a rookie pitcher for the Guardians, was activated after missing time on May 18 due to inflammation in his right shoulder. Prior to Friday’s game, Battenfield was optioned to Triple-A Columbus.
According to Francona, starting pitcher Shane Bieber started a throwing program on Wednesday.
