Mariners' Josh Naylor: Checking back into starting nine
Rotowire
Naylor (wrist) will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
The Mariners kept Naylor on the bench during Tuesday's 4-1 loss due to a sore right wrist, but the 29-year-old looks like he's made enough improvement overnight to rejoin the lineup for the second game of the series in New York. While Naylor has remained active on the basepaths in 2026 with 23 steals in 28 attempts, he's seen his power production taper off dramatically. His ISO has dropped nearly 60 points, going from .168 in 2025 to .109 this season.

Mariners' Josh Naylor: Logs 15th steal
Rotowire
Naylor went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 6-2 win over the Angels.
Naylor was held hitless for the third time in 11 games since he returned from shin and wrist issues that cost him a few contests in the middle of the month. He picked up his second steal in that span Monday, giving the first baseman 15 thefts on 18 attempts this season. He's also batting .254 with a .684 OPS, eight home runs, 34 RBI, 31 runs scored and 11 doubles over 79 contests.
Naylor (shin/wrist) will start at first base and bat third Thursday against the Orioles.
Naylor missed the Mariners' last two games while dealing with a bruised shin and sore wrist, but both issues appear to have subsided ahead of Thursday's series finale. The 28-year-old has been heating up this month, slashing .250/.308/.500 with three homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored over 12 games since June 1.
Naylor (shin/wrist) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
As expected, Naylor will miss a second consecutive start following his removal from Sunday's game while he continues to recover from shin and wrist injuries. However, manager Dan Wilson said Wednesday that he expects Naylor to return to the lineup Thursday, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, so the first baseman doesn't seem to be at risk of spending time on the IL. Miles Mastrobuoni will start at first Wednesday and bat ninth.

Mariners' Josh Naylor: Sitting down Tuesday
Rotowire
Naylor (shin/wrist) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
X-rays on Naylor's right shin came back negative following his early exit from Sunday's game against Washington. However, the Mariners will keep him out of action Tuesday, especially now that he is reportedly also dealing with a sore wrist. Miles Mastrobuoni will start at first base in place of Naylor, who appears likely to remain out of the lineup for at least a couple more days, per Jude.
Naylor had X-rays on his right shin come back negative after leaving Sunday's loss to the Nationals, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Naylor was forced from Sunday's contest after fouling a pitch off himself, but he appears to have escaped with a bruise. The 28-year-old went 1-for-3 before his exit and is batting .250 (12-for-48) with two doubles, three homers, a steal, eight RBI and seven runs through 12 games in June. Naylor will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery before Tuesday's series opener versus Baltimore.

Naylor went 1-for-3 with a double prior to leaving the contest and should be considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener versus the Orioles.
