Naylor (ankle) took batting practice Saturday and appeared to perform well, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Naylor's 2021 season was cut short after a broken ankle in late June required season-ending surgery. The Guardians have yet to officially announce if he'll be ready for Opening Day -- he has a lot of progress to make in his recovery, but his first steps in the spring are encouraging. He'll be competing for a reserve role as an outfielder and could also occasionally draw starts at first and as the designated hitter if he can make the team out of spring training.
