This season Naquin hit .288 with 10 homers and 34 RBI.

He underwent imaging Friday night and the MRI confirmed an ACL tear of the right knee.

He is scheduled for a follow-up examination with team doctors on Monday to try and figure out the course of action as well as surgery.

A time frame for return will be established after surgery and he is out for the remainder of 2019.
