Player Outlook
Carlos Narvaez was acquired from the Yankees in a rare trade between longtime AL East rivals and opened the season as Connor Wong's backup, but Wong's early injury and subsequent struggles allowed Narvaez to seize the regular catching job. He delivered a modest 97 wRC+ yet still batted cleanup for a month during a strong second-half run. His barrel and hard-hit rates sit slightly above average, though his aggressive chase tendencies create too much swing-and-miss and cap his offensive output. Narvaez is slated to be the primary catcher this season, and while Wong held that role a year ago before regressing, Narvaez offers a stronger skill set and is the superior defender, even finishing as a Gold Glove finalist. He profiles as a cost-effective No. 2 catcher in mixed leagues.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Taking seat Sunday

    Rotowire
    Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Narvaez started behind the plate in the first two games of the season and will get a breather in Sunday's series finale after going 3-for-6 with a run and a strikeout.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Expected to remain starting catcher

    Rotowire
    Narvaez (knee) will serve as Boston's starting catcher again in 2026, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. According to manager Alex Cora, Narvaez's knee was a problem throughout the entire 2025 season. Narvaez was able to avoid the injured list and remained an excellent defensive backstop, but the injury helps explain his offensive downturn in the second half, when he posted a .187/.233/.387 slash line. Following a left knee meniscectomy in October, Narvaez will slot back in as the No. 1 catcher for the Red Sox ahead of Connor Wong.

    Rotowire

Unless he's needed off the bench Sunday, Narvaez will head into the playoffs with a .241/.306/.419 slash line, 15 home runs, one stolen base, 50 RBI and 51 runs in 118 games.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Caps early rally with homer

    Rotowire
    Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Yankees. The Red Sox rallied in the first inning, but the bases were clear after a pair of run-generating outs. That's when Narvaez homered to provide Boston's sixth and final run, which ended up being more than enough for the win. The catcher has gone deep five times over his last 22 games, batting .254 (18-for-71) in that span while adding 12 RBI. On the year, he's up to a .248/.318/.429 slash line with 14 homers, 45 RBI, 50 runs scored, 25 doubles and a stolen base through 109 contests.

    Rotowire
