His other hit was a seventh-inning single that he followed with swipes of both second and third base. Naylor's final stat line was nearly a mirror image of what he posted the previous day in the series opener, when he also went 2-for-3 with a two-run blast and two thefts. His work on the basepaths has been especially impressive of late; over his past 11 contests, Naylor has gone 10-for-10 in stolen-base attempts. He's already more than doubled his previous career-high mark with 21 steals on the campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor continues to be efficient on the basepaths -- he's up to eight steals in 11 games with the Mariners. His homer Tuesday was his second in that span, and he's now 10-for-41 (.244) with his new team. Overall, the first baseman is at a .287/.355/.444 slash line, 13 homers, 19 steals, 63 RBI and 56 runs scored through 104 contests between Seattle and Arizona. He's typically displayed good contact skills, so he should hit more consistently as he continues to settle in.

Naylor also continued to run wild Monday -- he swiped his fourth bag in his past three contests and has already blown past his previous career-high mark with 15 thefts on 17 attempts this season.

He has gone 3-for-11 with a walk and four strikeouts in those contests. Overall, the first baseman is at a .292/.359/.442 slash line with 14 steals, 11 home runs, 59 RBI, 50 runs scored, 19 doubles and one triple through 96 games.

EDGE Analysis

Naylor extended his hitting streak to six games, and he also stole his career-high 12th stolen base. The first baseman's fantasy value may end up taking a dip as he transitions from hitter-friendly Chase Field to pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park for home contests -- he posted an .855 OPS through 49 games at home for Arizona in 2025 -- but Naylor should see plenty of RBI chances in the heart of Seattle's order. Since the start of June, he's batting .277 with four home runs, five doubles, 22 RBI and three steals over 137 at-bats.
