Josh Naylor Returns to M's Lineup on Wednesday
Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor (back) is starting at first base and will bat third for Wednesday's contest against the visiting New York Mets and right-hander Freddy Peralta at T-Mobile Park, according to MLB.com. Naylor was held out of Tuesday's game against New York after he was pulled from Monday's series opener early due to back spasms. The left-handed slugger is feeling better now, though, and will be back on the diamond in the series finale. Fantasy managers in traditional leagues will want to get Naylor back into their starting lineups now that he's recovered from his back spasms. He's hitting only .254 (57-for-224) on the season with a .317 on-base percentage and .357 slugging percentage, but the Canadian native has been seeing the ball well of late, going 13-for-47 (.277) with a homer, four RBI, seven runs scored, and two stolen bases in 12 games since May 18. Naylor is hitting .222 in nine career at-bats against Peralta with an .856 OPS and a solo home run.
