Napoli (lower body), who is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners, said he may be available off the bench, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Napoli is dealing with lower-body soreness, but he was able to take swings in the cage prior to Tuesday's game and pleaded with manager Jeff Banister to let him play. While Banister said he does not foresee Napoli playing Tuesday, this bodes well for his status moving forward. Still, the first baseman is hitting just .174 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate in 34 games since the beginning of August, so he isn't worth owning in most leagues even if he is playing. Ryan Rua is starting at first base in his stead Tuesday.
