Overview
- Naylor experienced back tightness immediately after his seventh-inning, game-tying home run on Monday and left the 10-inning game with spasms.
- Manager Dan Wilson said the tightness appeared related to the swing on the homer and described Naylor’s status as day-to-day.
- Seattle gave Naylor Tuesday off and listed him as potentially available off the bench while the club monitors his recovery.
- Patrick Wisdom replaced Naylor defensively in the eighth on Monday and started at first base the following day as a short-term lineup adjustment.
- Naylor had rebounded from a slow start with a strong May and is a key offensive piece for a Mariners club resting core players to protect them across a long season and preserve their recent hot stretch.
