There was no official word from the Mariners on why Naylor left the game.
In his first at-bat against White Sox starter Shane Smith, Naylor grimaced after swinging at a high, inside fastball. He walked down the first base line and back before finishing his at-bat, which ended with a strikeout.

Kansas City Chiefs underdog who only began playing football three years ago may finally be ready to contribute in 2025
Kansas City Chiefs underdog who only began playing football three years ago may finally be ready to contribute in 2025 originally appeared on A to Z Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs' 90-man offseason roster is actually a 91-man offseason roster, and that 91st player could finally be in line to make an impact on the field in 2025. The Chiefs have 91 players on the roster because of Chukwuebuka 'Chu' Godrick, who also goes by Jason. He joined the team through the NFL's international player pathway program. He has received an offseason roster exemption for the past two years in Kansas City, three if you include this latest exemption in 2025. Most of Godrick's experience to this point has been playing catch-up. After all, it wasn't long ago that he was appearing in his first-ever football game. You read that right, not his first-ever NFL game, but his first-ever game of organized football. Where the players around him had years of experience in Pop Warner, high school, and college, he was only just learning the game. He was discovered in part through Osi Umenyiora's 'Uprise Academy". He then received an invitation to the International NFL Combine at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he auditioned for scouts and ultimately earned his opportunity in Kansas City.'Words can barely express it, to be honest,' Godrick told A to Z Sports after preseason Week 1 in 2023. 'The atmosphere was definitely something I had never experienced, but I did my best to keep my head on a swivel and just play ball.' Now, in his third year in the system, Godrick isn't just playing catch-up. He's making a case to contribute in a way that he hasn't up to this point in his NFL career. Chiefs' international OL Chukwuebuka 'Chu' Godrick could finally make an impact in 2025 After playing a good portion of training camp with the third-team offense at tackle, Godrick graduated to play some interior offensive line and tackle with the second-team offense in training camp practice on Thursday, Day 14. Asked about Godrick's progress, Chiefs HC Andy Reid seemed pleasantly surprised by what he's seen from the third-year professional.'He's (Chukwuebuka Godrick) actually doing a good job," Reid said. "Talking about Chu here. He's actually doing a good job out there. He's worked guard, he's worked tackle, he's trying to get into that flex position where he can help out and compete. But he's having a good camp so far. Look forward to seeing him in the games.' With preseason Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals on deck, Godrick has a big opportunity ahead of him. Of course, he could spend another season on the practice squad with his roster-exempt status. On the other hand, he could prove that he has what it takes to suit up regularly on Sunday and provide multi-positional depth on the offensive line. "Yeah, well, he's getting there for sure," Reid said of Godrick's preparedness for the regular season. "Yeah, for sure. This will be a big, big camp for him as we go.'This story was originally reported by A to Z Sports on Aug 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Rookie CB Nohl Williams makes honest admission about his performance at Chiefs training camp thus far
Rookie CB Nohl Williams makes honest admission about his performance at Chiefs training camp thus far originally appeared on A to Z Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs reinforced their depth at the cornerback position when they selected Nohl Williams in the third round of the 2025 NFL is a physical, ball-hawking defender, making him a perfect fit for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's system. He has mostly played with the second-team defense throughout training camp, but has also spent a little time with the first-team as veteran CB Kristian Fulton has been on the PUP spoke to the media after Thursday's practice, and admitted that he's had his ups and downs during his first pro training camp. "It's been ups and downs," Williams said. "I put myself in uncomfortable situations so I can mess up now and then. Then in the game when the bullets are really flying, I can show out for my team." It's easy to forget that training camp is for learning, and players aren't always going to look good on every rep, especially rookies. In fact, coaches sometimes purposely put them bad situations just to see how they respond. Williams went on to say that he's getting more comfortable with each passing day. "I'm getting comfortable more and more," Williams said. "The more I study, the more it starts to gel with me. Watching the veterans, they've been in the system for a while, so (I'm) just learning from them, picking their brains, and I feel like every day I get a step closer to our goal." During his last two collegiate seasons with the California Golden Bears, Williams recorded 105 total tackles, nine interceptions, 15 passes defensed, and two forced fumbles. That type of playmaking ability is what the Chiefs' defense needs after finishing in the middle of the league in forced turnovers last season. Williams will get his first taste of NFL game action on Saturday when the Chiefs face the Arizona story was originally reported by A to Z Sports on Aug 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Utah Mammoth in yet another trademark fight over its name change, this time with a hockey bag company
For the second time this year, the NHL team in Utah is facing trademark objections from a pre-existing company over its new name. First, it was the company behind Yeti coolers refusing to back down so the team could adopt its preferred Utah Yeti name. Now, the recently christened Utah Mammoth are facing similar objections from a hockey bag company. Per Deseret News, Mammoth Hockey, an Oregon-based company that has sold hockey bags since 2014, recently sent the NHL team a cease-and-desist letter requesting it stop using the name, turn over all unsold merchandise bearing the new brand and provide copies of its accounting. Both companies feature a mammoth in their logos. Smith Entertainment Group reportedly responded with a lawsuit stating it was the sole owner of all trademarks related to the name, which Mammoth Hockey has vowed to fight: 'Mammoth Hockey intends to vigorously defend the litigation recently commenced against it by Utah Mammoth of the National Hockey League and protect its longstanding trademark used in connection with the hockey goods it has manufactured and sold for the past 10 years,' said Erik Olson, co-founder of Mammoth Hockey. While Mammoth Hockey has existed for more than a decade, the News reports it does not maintain any active trademarks at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, making any claim against the NHL team based on common law, a more uphill battle than a granted trademark. This was why the Yeti name fell through for the Mammoth, as the USPTO rejected its trademark attempt due to a "likelihood of confusion" with pre-existing trademarks. Different companies can feature a similar name if they're in clearly different fields (e.g. Dove beauty products and Dove chocolate), but the Yeti cooler company sold certain products, such as its apparel line, that could be impacted by an NHL team's products. SEG also reportedly noted a 2024 Facebook post and a 2025 series of LinkedIn messages and emails in which Mammoth Hockey seemingly showed support for the Utah Mammoth name choice. The Mammoth are requesting a decision in federal court on their use of the name, via the News: 'Utah Mammoth and the NHL believe strongly that we have the right to use the name Utah Mammoth under federal and state law, and that our use will not harm the defendant or its business in any way. We have taken this action only after careful consideration based on the defendant's position. We are not able to comment further on ongoing legal matters,' the Utah Mammoth said in a statement to the Deseret News. A second trademark fight is only the latest twist in a bizarrely protracted naming saga. The team formerly known as the Arizona Coyotes moved to Salt Lake City after Ryan Smith's purchase of the team and played its first season there with the temporary Utah Hockey Club nickname. It held three different round of voting featuring 21 different possible names, including the incumbent Hockey Club, before finally landing on the Mammoth.
