SEATTLE \u2014 Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor, who exited Monday night\u2019s victory over the New York Mets<\/a> with back spasms,<\/a> was out of the lineup Tuesday.<\/p>

Naylor hit a tying home run off reliever Brooks Raley in the seventh inning Monday, but by the time he returned to the dugout, his back had stiffened up. Seattle manager Dan Wilson decided to give Naylor the day off Tuesday but said he could be available off the bench.<\/p>\n

\u201c(He\u2019s) feeling better today for sure,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n

Patrick Wisdom, who replaced Naylor at first base on Monday, was playing first again and batting seventh against the Mets. Wilson is batting .133 in six games.<\/p>\n

Naylor is batting .254 with six homers and 25 RBIs. He got off to a frigid start this year, hitting .102 with two RBIs through Seattle\u2019s first 15 games. The 28-year-old turned it on in May, batting .296 in 108 at-bats.<\/p>

Acquired last July in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Naylor batted .299 with nine homers, 33 RBIs and 19 stolen bases in 54 games for Seattle in 2025. He signed a $92.5 million, five-year contract<\/a> in November.<\/p>\n

Naylor has helped the Mariners win a season-best seven straight games and move into first place in the AL West.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a long way to go in this thing,\u201d Wilson said, \u201cand letting him catch his breath here today is a good idea.\u201d<\/p>
