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

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez started at catcher in his return from the 10-day injured list in Saturday's 6-5 loss in 11 innings, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. Though he should see the bulk of the starts behind the plate moving forward, the lefty-hitting Narvaez will bow out of the lineup Sunday with Chicago bringing a southpaw (Justin Steele) to the hill. Victor Caratini will catch for starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff in the series finale.

Narvaez (quadriceps) was activated off the injured list as expected Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
A strained quadriceps had kept Narvaez out since early August, but he's good to go now after going 3-for-8 in a pair of rehab games. Mario Feliciano was optioned to create room on the roster, leaving Victor Caratini to serve as Narvaez's lone backup behind the plate.

Narvaez (quadriceps) will likely return from the 10-day injured list Saturday against the Cubs, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday and has gone 3-for-8 with a double, two RBI, a run and a strikeout over two games. He'll likely remain with the minor-league club for a few more days but should be back in the Brewers' lineup this weekend.

Narvaez (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez has been dealing with a quadriceps strain since early August but has been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. He's been on the injured list for just under two weeks, and it's possible that he'll be able to rejoin the Brewers as early as this weekend.

Narvaez (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment in about a week, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez hit the injured list with a strained quadriceps in early August. His given timeline suggests that he'll return sometime in the final third of the month. Victor Caratini has been the team's top catcher in his absence.

The Brewers placed Narvaez on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left quadriceps strain.
EDGE Analysis
Narvaez's injury is unfortunate timing for the Brewers, who designated No. 3 catcher Pedro Severino for assignment Wednesday and could be at risk of losing him to the waiver wire even though he would have been the top choice to replace Narvaez on the 26-man active roster. Instead, the Brewers called up Mario Feliciano from Triple-A Nashville to provide depth behind Victor Caratini, who will step in as the team's No. 1 backstop for the duration of Narvaez's absence.

Narvaez was removed from Wednesday's loss to the Pirates with a quadriceps strain and will be unavailable for Thursday's series finale, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Narvez went 1-for-3 with a run before being lifted during the eighth inning for a pinch hitter. The injury is exceptionally poor timing for the Brewers, which designated fellow catcher Pedro Severino for assignment prior to Wednesday's game. Victor Caratini should start behind the plate Thursday, but it remains to be seen who serves as the backup catcher if Narvaez is forced to miss any additional time.
