Launches game-winner Luplow went 1-for-4 with a walk-off home run in the Indians' 3-2 win over the White Sox on Wednesday. He also struck out three times.
Impact At the plate in the bottom of the ninth, Luplow was at risk of recording a golden sombrero. However, he instead delivered a game-winning blast and a nasty bat flip to boot. Wednesday marked back-to-back walk-off home runs for the Indians, as Jose Ramirez dealt the same blow on Tuesday.

Delivers in platoon role Luplow went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday in the Indians' 7-4 win over the Tigers.
Impact With a southpaw (Matthew Boyd) on the bump for Detroit, Luplow entered the starting nine in right field while the lefty-hitting Tyler Naquin received a breather. Though Luplow was able to capitalize on the platoon advantage Sunday, performances like this have been few and far between for him in 2020. He'll take a .190/.325/.317 slash line into the final week of the regular season.

Draws start versus lefty Luplow will start in left field and will bat sixth Sunday against the Tigers.
Impact With a southpaw (Tarik Skubal) on the mound for the opposition, Luplow will crack the lineup while the left-handed Tyler Naquin retreats to the bench. Luplow has filled the same short-side platoon role for the Indians this season that he did in 2019, but he hasn't made nearly as much success. Through 36 plate appearances, Luplow has managed a lowly .065/.194/.161 slash line.

Dealing with hairline fracture Naquin has a hairline fracture in his right big toe but may not go on the injured list, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 29-year-old can apparently play through the injury as long as he can tolerate the pain, but according to Bell he wasn't moving around very well. Cleveland called up Daniel Johnson for additional outfield depth, while Jordan Luplow receives the Opening Day nod in left field.

In exhibition lineup Luplow (back) will bat sixth and play right field in Wednesday's exhibition game against the Pirates.
Impact Luplow had been dealing with back soreness throughout camp, but his presence in Wednesday's lineup seems to bode well for his readiness for Opening Day. There's a good chance he'll be in the lineup for Friday's season opener against the Royals, as he's expected to start when lefties like Friday's starter Danny Duffy are on the mound.

Scratched Tuesday Naquin was scratched from Tuesday's intrasquad lineup due to a contusion on his right big toe, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 29-year-old apparently fouled a ball off his foot during Monday's exhibition contest and will be taking it easy for at least one day. Naquin is expected to fill the strong side of a platoon in left field with Jordan Luplow, but it's unclear if the toe issue will limit his availability for Friday's season opener versus the Royals.

Set to play field Monday Luplow (back) is expected to play four or five innings in the field during Monday's exhibition game, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Luplow has been limited during camp while dealing with back soreness, but manager Terry Francona confirmed that he'll be able to work on fielding in a live game situation Monday. The 26-year-old's injury doesn't appear to be too serious, and the team could attempt to ramp up his workload over the coming days ahead of Friday's season opener. Luplow should occupy the large side of a platoon in left field when he's ready to play.

Dealing with sore back Luplow is day-to-day with back soreness, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact He experienced back soreness once practices got underway earlier this month and Cleveland is being cautious with him. Luplow had an MRI on Monday, the results of which came back clear, but he will still be given a few more days to rest. If healthy, Luplow is expected to start in left field against left-handed pitchers.
