**Naylor’s Status Uncertain for Mariners as ALDS Shifts to Detroit**

DETROIT (AP) — Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor’s status is uncertain for Game 3 of the American League Division Series against the Detroit Tigers due to a personal matter. Manager Dan Wilson declined to disclose whether Naylor accompanied the team to Detroit.

“We’ll know more tomorrow,” Wilson stated Monday, leaving the possibility open for Naylor’s participation.

The Tigers are set to host the Mariners on Tuesday with the series evenly poised at one game apiece. Seattle management has indicated they are preparing to play without Naylor if necessary.

“We’ve got a plan in place,” Wilson confirmed.

The Mariners acquired Naylor from Arizona in July. Although he performed strongly in the regular season, hitting .295 with 20 home runs and 92 RBIs, he is currently 0 for 8 in the ALDS.
