**MLB Playoffs: Naylor Plays Amid Baby Watch, Sasaki’s Role Defined, Giants Manager Search Heats Up**

**October 5, 2025** – As the MLB playoffs heat up, several key storylines are developing across the league.

In Seattle, Josh Naylor will be in the Mariners’ lineup for ALDS Game 2 against the Detroit Tigers, despite his wife being on the verge of giving birth. Naylor will bat sixth and play first base.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts clarified the role of Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki. While Roberts acknowledged Sasaki as a high-leverage reliever, he stopped short of officially naming him the Dodgers’ closer. Additionally, Roberts confirmed that Tyler Glasnow is still on track to start Game 4 for the Dodgers.

Looking at the Tigers-Mariners series, analysts are noting that the Mariners have had success against Tigers starter Tarik Skubal this season.

Nick Hundley, a former catcher who served as Buster Posey’s backup from 2017-2018 and who is a Rangers executive is reportedly a strong contender for the job. Hundley is said to be well-respected within the organization.

Finally, Blue Jays fans got a glimpse of Addison Barger’s strong arm.
