The Guardians' Bo Naylor was scratched from the lineup Monday with right ankle soreness. He was replaced in the lineup by rookie catcher Luke Maile.

Naylor was injured in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. He fouled a ball off his ankle and was replaced by Maile.

Naylor is hitting .270 with 10 home runs and 40 RBIs this season. He is one of the Guardians' most promising young players.

The Guardians are hoping that Naylor's injury is not serious. He is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Tuesday.

In the meantime, Maile will take over as the Guardians' starting catcher. Maile is a veteran catcher who has played in over 500 major league games.

The Guardians are currently in third place in the AL Central. They are 1.5 games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins.
