Josh Naylor Returns for Series Finale Against Baltimore
Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor (shin, wrist) is back at first base and is batting third for the M's in their series finale on Thursday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Shane Baz, according to MLB.com. Naylor will return to the starting nine after sitting out the last two games with a bruised shin and wrist soreness. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups in traditional formats against a right-handed pitcher. The Canadian native is hitting .253 (68-for-269) with eight home runs, 32 RBI, 13 stolen bases, and 27 runs scored in his first full season in the big leagues. So far in 12 games in June, Naylor has gone 12-for-48 (.250) with three home runs, three doubles, eight RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base in 52 plate appearances. He has only faced Baz three times in his career and has one hit.
