MLB 2026 Buzz: Emerging Twins Pitcher Hits Injured List

On bench again Wednesday Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Narvaez will take a seat for the second day in a row and for the third time in the last four games. Mickey Gasper is drawing a second straight start at catcher Wednesday, and the Red Sox also have Connor Wong on hand to vie for playing time at the position. Even if Narvaez remains the Red Sox's nominal No. 1 catcher, he'll need to earn a greater share of the playing time to have any chance at making a more meaningful impact for fantasy owners. Through 35 games this season, Narvaez is hitting .218 with two home runs, one stolen base, 13 runs and three RBI.

Hitting bench Wednesday Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Connor Wong will get the nod at catcher Wednesday while the Red Sox are seemingly taking a timeshare approach to the position. Narvaez hasn't started consecutive games since May 3 and 4 and has now been behind the plate for three of the Red Sox's last seven contests.

Impact It's the second straight game on the bench for Narvaez, who has just one hit (a double) and three walks over his pat 16 at-bats. The 27-year-old recently appeared to take a firmer hold of Boston's No. 1 catching job by starting five of seven games, but he's now started just two of the past six contests. Mickey Gasper is receiving his second straight nod Sunday, while Connor Wong has also picked up two starts during that six-game stretch.
