Josh Naylor Absent on Sunday With Quad Tightness
Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor (quadriceps) is not in the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals due to quadriceps tightness, according to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. With Naylor sidelined at Busch Stadium, Connor Joe will make the start at first for the M's and will bat seventh against St. Louis right-hander Michael McGreevy. Until we know more about Naylor's injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day as the team heads into their series opener on Monday in Minnesota against the Twins. Although Naylor is barely over the Mendoza Line early on in the 2026 campaign, he's been carrying Seattle's offense of late and has gone 12-for-25 (.480) with a homer, two doubles, four RBI, four stolen bases, and three runs in his last seven games, dating back to April 17. Hopefully, Naylor's quad injury won't interrupt his recent hot streak at the plate. Joe has just two hits in 10 at-bats so far in 2026 and has never faced McGreevy in his career.
