DETROIT (AP) — Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor is in the lineup for Game 3 of the AL Division Series against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday after dealing with a personal matter.
Mariners manager Dan Wilson declined on Monday to say if Naylor traveled with the team to Detroit, saying only that he had a personal matter.
The Tigers and Mariners split the first two games of the series in Seattle.
The Mariners acquired the 28-year-old Naylor from Arizona in July ahead of the trade deadline. He was 0 for 8 over the first two games against Detroit after hitting .295 with 20 homers and 92 RBIs in the regular season for the Mariners and Diamondbacks.
