Narvaez batted cleanup and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
That's two games in a row in the cleanup spot for Narvaez, who has earned a promotion. He's hit safely in seven consecutive games and reached base in nine of the last 10, going 16-for-35 (.457) with six walks, four doubles, one home run, four RBI, one steal and six runs during that span. Sunday's stolen base was his first of the season. Narvaez has moved ahead of Connor Wong as Boston's primary catcher.

Narvaez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a home run into the Monster seats that turned out to be the game-winning hit. The legend of the backup catcher continues to grow. Narvaez is 16-for-37 (.432) with five extra-base hits, seven RBI and eight runs scored over the last 12 games. As important as Tuesday's home run was, Narvaez's work behind the plate was equally key. Starter Walker Buehler was ejected early for arguing balls and strikes, forcing the backstop to shepherd six different relievers through 6.2 scoreless innings.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old appears to have taken hold of the starting gig behind the plate in Boston, as he has a .991 OPS through 11 games in May and had started four straight games coming into Sunday. Connor Wong will catch for Brayan Bello in the series finale versus Atlanta.

Narvaez will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
He'll get the nod behind the plate for the fourth time in five games and seems to have taken over as the Red Sox's preferred backstop ahead of Connor Wong, who is batting just .146 on the season. Narvaez has performed well at the dish, especially by catcher's standards, throughout the campaign, slashing .260/.313/.433 with four home runs and 14 RBI across 112 plate appearances.

Narvaez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez crossed home plate in the fifth frame on a Rafael Devers RBI single, and the former extended Boston's lead to eight runs in the eighth with a two-run blast off Angel Zerpa. While Connor Wong's return from the injured list has led to less playing time for Narvaez, the 26-year-old has done well at the plate as of late. Over his last eight starts, Narvaez has gone 10-for-29 (.344) with five runs scored, two home runs and seven RBI.

Narvaez will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Though he's back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, Narvaez's run as the Red Sox's primary catcher is over with Connor Wong reinstated from the injured list Friday. Wong started behind the dish in the first two games of the series, but he'll pick up some rest in the Sunday afternoon contest. Narvaez batted just .175 with three home runs over 18 games while Wong was sidelined.

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.
