Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Red Sox were already in the market for potential backup catchers when they shipped prosect Kyle Teel to the White Sox as part of the package to acquire Garrett Crochet. Narvaez was first of two backstops acquired via trade during the offseason, and he'll compete with the second acquisition, Blake Sobol, to back up Connor Wong. Sabol (121 games) has more MLB experience than Narvaez (six), but the latter was better in the minors at throwing out would-be base stealers. Wong has been durable since elevating to Boston's top catcher, playing 126 games in each of the last two seasons. The victor in the Narvaez/Sabol battle is not expected to get many starts. Read Past Outlooks
Playing time picking up
Narvaez will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Slated for bigger role
Narvaez is expected to handle a bigger role at catcher following the finger injury sustained by Connor Wong, Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors speculates.
ANALYSIS
The Red Sox placed Wong on the 10-day injured list after he broke his left pinkie finger on a catcher's interference during Monday's loss to the Blue Jays, and Narvaez is now slated to experience an uptick in his playing time while Wong is out. Narvaez hit .254/.370/.412 with 11 homers over 96 Triple-A contests in 2024, and he's posted a slash line of .333/.455/.500 with six hits in 18 at-bats ahead of Tuesday's slate.
