Brian Navarreto - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Making rare start Navarreto will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact With Joe Mack resting for the series finale and Liam Hicks manning first base, Navarreto will crack the starting nine for the first time since July 12. Since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on June 21, Navarreto is hitting .167/.231/.250 over just 15 plate appearances in seven games.

Summoned from Triple-A The Marlins selected Navarreto's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Impact He'll provide Miami with a second option at catcher behind Joe Mack after the Marlins moved Liam Hicks (back) to the 10-day injured list Sunday. Mack is expected to shoulder a heftier workload behind the dish while Hicks is shelved, so Navarreto may not be in store for more than a start or two per week while he's up with Miami.

Headed to minor-league camp The Marlins reassigned Navarreto to minor-league camp Wednesday.

Impact Navarreto received 15 plate appearances over eight games with the Marlins in 2025, but he was never expected to have much of a shot at breaking camp with the big club so long as the team's top two backstops, Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks, were both available heading into Opening Day. The 31-year-old will presumably open the campaign at Triple-A Jacksonville.

Re-ups with Marlins The Marlins re-signed Navarreto to a minor-league contract Monday.

Impact Navarreto elected free agency last month after being outrighted off the Marlins' 40-man roster, but he's found his way back into the organization. The 30-year-old got into eight games with Miami in 2025, going 4-for-14 with one home run at the dish. Navarreto is likely pegged for Triple-A Jacksonville to begin the 2026 campaign.

Enters free agency Navarreto elected free agency Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Navarreto spent the majority of the 2025 season at Triple-A Jacksonville, where he slashed .224/.300/.385 with 27 RBI and 22 runs scored across 180 plate appearances. The 30-year-old backstop will most likely sign another minor-league contract during the offseason.

Outrighted to Triple-A The Marlins outrighted Navarreto to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Impact Having been outrighted before, Navarreto can reject Wednesday's outright assignment and become a free agent if he wants. The catcher went 4-for-14 at the dish during his brief time with Miami in 2025.

Pops first career homer Navarreto launched a two-run home run as a pinch hitter in Friday's loss to the Phillies.

Impact Entering the game in the eighth inning with the Marlins getting routed 9-1, Navarreto got hold of a Tanner Banks fastball for his first career big-league homer. It was the first appearance for the 30-year-old backstop since being added to the roster at the beginning of September, and his playing time will likely remain scarce with Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks getting most of the catcher reps for Miami.
