Naylor is referenced as scratched, with Suárez and Canzone moving up in the lineup and Garver filling DH. His absence on the day’s card alters the Mets’ or Mariners’ daily output dynamics and affects who benefits from the lineup shuffle.

Naylor’s lefty power strengthens Seattle’s middle order, providing balance and run production behind Raleigh and Rodríguez. His presence at the deadline adds a veteran bat with on-base skills that help sustain Seattle’s offensive momentum into the final stretch and potential October drama.

Naylor delivered the game's lone RBI in the top of the first, providing the early spark Seattle needed in a tight duel. His early hit-set the tone for a contest that hinges on pitching depth and timely hitting in a tightly contested affair.

Naylor pairs a strong bat with unexpected baserunning, piling up 22 steals on the year and 11 steals in 15 games for Seattle. His savvy takes advantage of pitchers’ holds and catcher framing, creating a pace that could push him toward 30 steals if the Mariner running game stays aggressive.

Naylor’s RBI-capable bat in Seattle’s order adds run production upside and a steady source of power. His presence elevates the Mariners’ offense, creating additional fantasy value in RBI-heavy formats and adding a solid corner-infield anchor with reasonable AVG potential.
