Mariners’ Josh Naylor Exits Game With Injury

Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor left the August 7 game against the Chicago White Sox after displaying discomfort during his at-bats and was replaced by Donovan Solano in the fourth inning. Naylor was seen consulting with the team's athletic trainer following his exit, but the Mariners have not yet provided details on the injury's nature or severity. Since being acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Naylor has hit .261 with three home runs and 10 stolen bases in 13 games for Seattle, and his overall season stats are .289 with 14 home runs and 65 RBIs. He recently became one of only four MLB players since 1900 to record at least one home run and two stolen bases in consecutive games. The Mariners had been nearing full health with several key players preparing for rehab assignments. Further updates on Naylor’s condition are expected after medical evaluation.
