Mike Napoli (neck) is out of the lineup Saturday against the Phillies
Napoli (neck) is out of the lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis:
With the Indians receiving an off day Monday, holding Napoli out for a second straight game will actually give him a full three days to recover from the neck issue before the team opens a series with the Tigers on Tuesday. Carlos Santana will cover first base in Napoli's stead.
