Dealing with neck stiffness
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said after Friday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins that Naylor was removed from the game due to neck stiffness, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis
Naylor went 0-for-3 with one strikeout before being replaced by Tim Tawa prior the start of the seventh inning. Lovullo added that Naylor will likely be out of the lineup Saturday but should return for Sunday's series finale. Tawa and Pavin Smith -- who served as the DH on Friday -- are candidates to start at first base in Naylor's absence Saturday.

Swats homer No. 10
Naylor went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox.
Analysis
The first baseman missed one game due to a shoulder issue but returned Wednesday and gave Arizona a quick 2-0 lead by taking Sean Burke deep in the first inning, but it didn't last long. The homer was Naylor's 10th of the season, and three of them have come in June -- a month in which he's batting .324 (23-for-71) with 12 runs and 16 RBI in 20 contests.

Back in Arizona lineup
Naylor (shoulder) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.
Analysis
Naylor injured his right shoulder on a swing during Monday's 10-0 win over Chicago and wound up sitting out Tuesday's 4-1 victory after initially being listed in the lineup. He's back in the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale as the Diamondbacks try to complete the sweep.

Scratched from lineup
Naylor (shoulder) was scratched from the Diamondbacks' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
Analysis
Naylor had initially been expected to start one day after exiting Monday's contest when he tweaked his right shoulder on a swing. It does not seem as though he's suffered a setback, but rather the Diamondbacks just want to play it safe and give him a little more rest. Pavin Smith will play first base Tuesday, and Randal Grichuk will enter the lineup at designated hitter.

In Tuesday's lineup
Naylor (shoulder) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Analysis
Naylor had to be removed from Monday's contest in Chicago after tweaking his right shoulder on a swing. However, he has avoided a serious injury and will be back in there a day later. Naylor has collected an .824 OPS with nine home runs over 75 games for the Diamondbacks this season.

May play Tuesday
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Naylor (shoulder) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports
Analysis
Naylor went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI before being removed from Monday's 10-0 win in the fourth inning after injuring his right shoulder on a swing in the second inning. Should Naylor be unavailable Tuesday, Pavin Smith would likely fill in at first base against Chicago right-hander Jordan Leasure.

Nursing shoulder injury
Naylor was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to right shoulder discomfort.
Analysis
Naylor will presumably be re-evaluated Tuesday as the Diamondbacks determine his status for the second game of the series. Pavin Smith, Tim Tawa or Ildemaro Vargas could see time at first base if Naylor is forced to miss additional action.

Exits early Monday
Naylor was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to an apparent shoulder injury, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Naylor appeared to grab at his right shoulder following an awkward swing during his at-bat in the top of the second inning, per Drottar, though he managed to remain in the game until the bottom of the fourth. Tim Tawa took over for Naylor at first base. The 28-year-old is presumably headed to the clubhouse for further evaluation.
