SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor left Thursday’s game against the Chicago White Sox after grounding out to second base to end the third inning.
There was no official word from the Mariners on why Naylor left the game.
In his first at-bat against White Sox starter Shane Smith, Naylor grimaced after swinging at a high, inside fastball. He walked down the first base line and back before finishing his at-bat, which ended with a strikeout.
Naylor, one of Seattle’s notable trade deadline acquisitions from the Arizona Diamondbacks, is hitting .289, with 14 home runs, 65 RBIs and 21 stolen bases this season. Since joining the Mariners, the left-hander is batting .261 with three home runs and 10 stolen bases.
