Rest-of-Season Projections
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Naquin came to the big leagues with aplomb with an impressive rookie season, showing an ability to hit for average and power, albeit with an excessive strikeout rate. It has all been mostly downhill from there with injury and ineffectiveness save a decent run of platoon production in 2019. Cleveland saw enough in 2020 and decided to move on from the outfielder by non-tendering the 30-year-old outfielder in December. If Naquin finds another big-league job, he will be strictly platooned with someone who can actually hit lefty pitching -- something Naquin is wholly incapable of doing. The downside for him is that there are many outfielders out there who can fill a strong-side platoon, so look for him to settle for a minor-league deal and plan your single-league format reserve rounds accordingly.

Sitting in Winker's return
Naquin is out of the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
With five home runs and a double in only 36 plate appearances to begin the season, Naquin has been one of the pleasant surprises through the first week and a half of the campaign. He's benefited from some extra opportunities with Jesse Winker missing multiple games due to an illness and then a calf cramp, but Naquin will take a seat Monday with Winker cleared to play in the series opener in San Francisco. Naquin's power surge may allow him to get a longer look as part of a timeshare with Winker and Nick Senzel in left or center field, but his overall opportunities will likely take at least a slight hit now that Cincinnati has its Opening Day outfield back intact.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Tyler Naquin

In this week's look at players whose stock is either rising or falling, Erik Halterman notes Corbin Burnes' ascension after two outstanding outings so far this season.

Reds OF Tyler Naquin is off to a hot start. It seems like Cleveland was too quick to give up on Naquin. Chris Liss and Jeff Erickson discuss.

Tyler Naquin last received this much attention back in 2017, but he was frequently added by teams in free agent bidding this week.

Jeff Erickson and Scott Jenstad cover injuries (Christian Yelich, Anthony Rendon) and FAAB options at Closer and Outfield.

2013
Naquin began the season as Cleveland's Opening Day right fielder and appeared in 89 games with a .792 OPS, but he missed the final month of the season after suffering a torn ACL. He finally looked comfortable at the plate after being unable to establish himself in the majors in the previous two seasons following an impressive .296/.372/.514 slash line during his rookie campaign in 2016. Naquin used to be a defensive liability, but has turned himself into a solid defender. He has some pop (.179 ISO), but he remains a non-factor on the basepaths. Naquin should factor into the Indians' outfield situation again in 2020, but he's expected to get a late start to the season as the early timetable for his recovery has him returning between mid-April and mid-June.
