Andres Gimenez, Bo Naylor, and Gavin Williams are in prime position to put together big second halves for the Cleveland Guardians.
are currently in a position to go on a strong playoff run come October. However, in order to solidify their standing as a contender atop the American League, they're going to need some players already on their roster to step up in the second half of the season.Andres Gimenez's bat is beginning to heat up. He's hitting .288/.291/.327, including eight RBI, in the last 15 games.
Perhaps this two-week stretch is a preview of what Gimenez will do in the following two months of the season. This wouldn't be the first time Gimenez has picked it up following the All-Star Break. The infielder has a career slash line of .271/.341/.422 and an OPS of .763 in the second half of the season.Bo Naylorhas shown flahes of great potential at the plate since his call in June of 2023. Specfically in the closing month of his rookie season. While the 24-year-old has struggled at the plate this season, there is a reason to believe he could turn it around following the All-Star Break.
Williams has recorded nine strikeouts through his first three starts in 14.1 innings and his fastball velocity has looked as strong as it had been throughout his rookie season.
