Naylor Rests, Mariners Keep Winning

Mariners’ star first baseman Josh Naylor sits out Tuesday’s game due to back spasms, a flare-up that occurred after his clutch homer Monday night — but he’s feeling better and could pinch-hit. His resurgence this season — batting .254 with 6 homers and 25 RBIs after a brutal April — has been vital to Seattle’s seven-game win streak and AL West lead. Signed to a $92.5M deal last November, Naylor remains a cornerstone. Manager Dan Wilson’s decision to rest him is smart roster management — keeping the team’s momentum alive as the season stretches on.
