August 27, 2025 3:30 PM : Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: He'll hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Red Sox give Connor Wong a look behind the plate. Narvaez has had a stranglehold on the No. 1 catching job for most of the season, but his job security might have slipped a bit while his production has fallen off during the second half. Since the All-Star break, Narvaez is slashing just .158/.210/.316 with a 26.8 percent strikeout rate over 21 games.
