Narvaez (calf) expects to begin a rehab assignment by the end of the week, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rookie Francisco Alvarez is rapidly improving and seems to be locking down a significant role behind the dish for the Mets, so Narvaez could find himself competing with Tomas Nido (vision issues) for one roster spot when both backstops are healthy again. Narvaez played only five games this season before suffering a significant calf strain in early April that landed him on the 60-day IL.

Narvaez (calf) will begin a rehab assignment next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez has been sidelined with a strained left calf since early April but is now nearing the point where he can return to game action. It's unclear how long the Mets plan on keeping him on assignment, but we'll likely know more as he recovers.

EDGE Analysis
Narvaez still has at least five more weeks of rest and rehab for the medium-to-high grade calf strain that he suffered in early April. Francisco Alvarez has taken over as the Mets' primary catcher with Tomas Nido backing him up.

Narvaez was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Mets on Friday, retroactive to April 6, with a left calf strain.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez has been diagnosed with a medium-to-high grade strain and is expected to be sidelined 8-9 weeks, putting him on the shelf until at least June. Francisco Alvarez has been summoned to fill his roster spot and will share time at catcher with Tomas Nido.

Narvaez was diagnosed with a medium-to-high grade strain of his left calf Thursday and is expected to be sidelined 8-to-9 weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Brewers and will officially be placed on the injured list ahead of the Mets' home opener Friday versus the Marlins. Francisco Alvarez is already on his way to New York and figures to share time at catcher with Tomas Nido while also drawing starts at DH. If the estimated timeline proves to be accurate, Narvaez won't be an option again before mid-June.

Narvaez (calf) could be headed to the 10-day injured list after leaving Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez was sent for imaging scans after making an early exit from Wednesday's contest due to discomfort in his left calf. Martino notes that top prospect Francisco Alvarez has already been summoned to New York and could be active at catcher for the Mets' rescheduled home opener Friday versus the Marlins. Alvarez would probably share time behind the plate with Tomas Nido while also working into the DH mix.

Narvaez was removed late in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to Milwaukee with a left calf injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-4 with a base hit prior to departing the game.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez felt something in the calf during his last plate appearance and was taken out in the final frame. He'll be examined but is being referred to as day-to-day for now. If Narvaez winds up having to miss some time, it could clear the way for a Francisco Alvarez promotion.

Narvaez is not in the Mets' starting lineup Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomas Nido will get a turn at catcher and bat ninth against the Brewers and left-hander Wade Miley. This looks to be a routine day of rest for Narvaez.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez is 3-for-7 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored, but he'll take a seat Sunday with lefty Trevor Rogers on the mound for Miami. Tomas Nido will work behind the plate in the series finale, batting eighth.

Narvaez is not listed in the Mets' lineup Friday against Miami, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going 1-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's season opener, Narvaez will sit down Friday against fellow lefty Jesus Luzardo. In his place, Tomas Nido will start behind the dish and bat ninth.
