Josh Naylor News: Starting as DH on Tuesday

Published on July 1, 2025

Naylor (neck) is batting cleanup as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Giants.

The 28-year-old slugger sat out the previous three games due to neck stiffness, but he's back in the lineup in a non-defensive capacity Tuesday versus San Francisco. Pavin Smith is starting at first base with Naylor easing his way back into the starting nine.
