Naylor's Clutch Play Sparks Mariners

0:00On April 26, Mariners' first baseman, Josh Naylor, sat out Sunday's lineup in St. Louis as a precaution for minor quad tightness, but he's still. Ready off the bench if they need him. Manager Dan Wilson called it a smart rest day after yesterday's tightness, plus a chance to give Connor Joe more at bats against the Cardinals. Naylor's been on fire lately, hitting 480 over his last seven games with 12 hits in 25. At bats, two doubles, four RBI's, four steals, and four walks for 1.213 OPS. His clutch plays have sparked the offense, like game-winning hits earlier this week against the Athletics and Friday versus the Cardinals, plus two. For five with two steals in Saturday's 11-9 win. Since joining Seattle on July 25, 2025, he's perfect on stolen bases at 23 for 23, adding that aggressive. Base running vibe, and with his bats still in play today, the Mariners stayed dangerous if the game tightens up.
