Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Narvaez has now logged at least one hit in five of his last six outings. Over his last nine games, the backstop is batting a healthy .265 (9-for-34) with three homers, one double, four RBI and seven runs scored. Although Connor Wong (wrist) is nearing a return from the injured list, Narvaez's performance in his stead may have helped him create a timeshare behind the dish for the Red Sox once the former is healthy.

Narvaez isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Narvaez will take a seat after hitting a solo home run and striking out twice Thursday. Blake Sabol will start behind the plate and bat eighth.

Narvaez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The backstop cut the Red Sox's deficit to one in the eighth inning with an opposite-field blast off Gabe Speier. It's Narvaez's second homer this year, both of which have come in his last five games. The 26-year-old is slashing .210/.269/.371 with eight runs scored and six RBI through 67 plate appearances this season, though he'll likely be relegated to backup duties soon with Connor Wong (finger) scheduled to begin a rehab assignment this weekend.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Narvaez will get a breather after he started in nine of Boston's last 10 games. Blake Sabol will handle the catching duties Wednesday in Narvaez's stead.

Narvaez went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Narvaez lined his fourth double already this season in the fourth inning, later crossing the plate on Ceddanne Rafaela's two-run blast. Top backstop Connor Wong is still recovering from a fractured finger, so Narvaez should at least remain Boston's primary catcher for the time being. Narvaez is slashing just .208/.269/.354 with one home run, five RBI and six runs scored over 48 at-bats (14 games), and his fantasy appeal will remain restricted by his consistent placement near the bottom of Boston's batting order.

Narvaez is expected to serve as the team's starting catcher after it was announced Monday that Connor Wong (finger) will require a stint on the 10-day injured list, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Narvaez saw his four-game hitting streak snapped Monday after entering the game for Wong, though he's still off to a strong start to the 2025 campaign, now 6-for-18 with four RBI and two runs scored in five games. Narvaez is expected to handle the majority of the catching duties while Wong recovers from a fractured left pinky finger, while Blake Sabol is in line to serve as the backup catcher.

Narvaez went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two RBI in Friday's 13-9 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Narvaez found himself in the starting lineup for a second straight game and rewarded manager Alex Cora by contributing offensively to the win. He's caught both games started by Walker Buehler.

Narvaez made his first start of the season and went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Boston hitters failed to deliver the first 11 times they came to the plate with runners in scoring position before Narvaez broke the fever with an eighth-inning single. The veteran beat out Seby Zavala this spring to be the backup to Connor Wong at catcher.

The Red Sox plan to install Narvaez as the backup catcher to starter Connor Wong, Chris Cotillo and Christopher Smith of MassLive.com report.

EDGE Analysis

The club on Friday informed Seby Zavala that he will not be added to the Opening Day roster, which paves the way for Narvaez, pending any last-minute additions.

The Yankees traded Narvaez to the Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz and international signing bonus pool money, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Narvaez appeared in six games for the Yankees in 2024, during which he went 3-for-13 at the plate with six strikeouts. However, he slashed .254/.370/.412 with 58 RBI and nine stolen bases in Triple-A, and he should have a solid chance to supplant Mickey Gasper as Boston's backup catcher during spring training. Enmanuel Valdez was designated for assignment in order to make room for Narvaez on the 40-man roster.
