Rest-of-Season Projections
Heads to independent league
Nava signed with the Kansas City T-Bones of the independent American Association on Saturday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Nava appeared in 80 games for the Phillies in 2017, hitting .301/.393/.421. He did not appear at any level in 2018 while recovering from back surgery. He'll have a chance to return to affiliated baseball if he proves to be healthy and effective in indy ball, though at age 36, his chances of appearing in the majors again may be slim.

2010
Nava won a major-league job out of spring training, but he ended up making three trips to the DL, twice for hamstring issues and later for a back strain. He fared well when on the field, hitting .301/.393/.421 in 214 plate appearances, good for a 119 wRC+. That line was propped up a bit by a .357 BABIP (.325 for his career), but also could be attributed in part to a more pull-heavy approach. He pulled 44.2 percent of his batted balls last year, up significantly from his career average of 35.5 percent. Nava has a chance to provide some value to a team as a fourth or fifth outfielder, though his upside for fantasy owners is limited, as he's unlikely to get enough at-bats to be relevant in most formats. If the playing time opens up for him, he has a chance at contributing a solid batting average, but he's already 34 years old and has never had much power or speed.
