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.

In line for more opportunities
Narvaez is expected to serve as the team's starting catcher after it was announced Monday that Connor Wong (finger) will require a stint on the 10-day injured list, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Narvaez saw his four-game hitting streak snapped Monday after entering the game for Wong, though he's still off to a strong start to the 2025 campaign, now 6-for-18 with four RBI and two runs scored in five games. Narvaez is expected to handle the majority of the catching duties while Wong recovers from a fractured left pinky finger, while Blake Sabol is in line to serve as the backup catcher.
