Josh Naylor exited a game against the Chicago White Sox due to shoulder soreness, an issue he has experienced in the past. The Mariners manager confirmed this after noticing Naylor's discomfort during his plate appearances, where he appeared visibly uneasy. He was replaced defensively after discussions with the training staff, which indicated a serious concern. Despite the setback, Naylor's recent performance had been strong, contributing significantly to the team's playoff ambitions with impactful stats since his trade from the Diamondbacks.
“Naylor had quickly become a key piece of their postseason push. In 12 games with the Mariners, he had slashed .273/.333/.500 with three home runs, six RBIs, and 10 stolen bases.”
“After a brief discussion with the Mariners' athletic training staff, Naylor disappeared down the tunnel. He was replaced defensively in the top of the fourth inning by veteran Donovan Solano.”
