Heads to bench Narvaez is not starting Monday against the Marlins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's possible Narvaez, who swings left-handed, could platoon with the right-handed Manny Pina going forward. The Brewers haven't had the chance to show off any potential platoons so far this season, as they somehow managed to face 21 straight righties to open the season before facing southpaw Trevor Rogers on Monday.

Plates two in three-hit night Narvaez went 3-for-4 with two RBI in the 6-0 win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Impact Narvaez has turned the tide from his struggles at the plate last year. He leads the Brewers with 17 hits and is slashing .386/.451/.996 in 51 plate appearances.

APRIL 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Narvaez looks to be getting a routine maintenance day after he caught in each of the team's last three games. Manny Pina will get a turn behind the dish in Sunday's series finale, forming a battery with Freddy Peralta.

APRIL 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to produce Narvaez went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

APRIL 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Tuesday Narvaez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Narvaez is off to a hot start following a very disappointing 2020 campaign, posting a 1.197 OPS through 29 plate appearances. He's been the clear number one option behind the plate thus far this season, starting seven of the first 11 games. Manny Pina will make his fourth start of the year Tuesday.

APRIL 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Day off Sunday Narvaez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.

APRIL 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Receives breather Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Narvaez looks to be getting a routine maintenance day after drawing starts behind the plate in both of the first two games of the series in Chicago. Backup catcher Manny Pina will enter the lineup Wednesday in place of Narvaez, who slugged a home run in both of his starts against the Cubs.

APRIL 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

APRIL 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Sunday Narvaez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Carrying over the momentum from a hot spring, Narvaez has gotten off to a nice little 3-for-8 start to the 2021 season. Narvaez was the only Brewer to record a hit in Saturday's game. He will get a day to rest his legs as Manny Pina takes over behind the plate Sunday.

APRIL 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Records Brewers' lone hit Narvaez went 1-for-3 during Saturday's loss against the Twins.

Impact Narvaez was the only Milwaukee player who mustered a hit in a game where the Brewers were completely outmatched. Narvaez was seeing the ball well in spring training and he's started the year on a strong note as well, hitting safely in both contests and going 3-for-6 with an RBI thus far in his first two games.

APRIL 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Seeing it well this spring Narvaez went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI, three runs and a walk over his last two spring games.

Impact Narvaez started the spring hot, and he is ending it in the same fashion. He really struggled with the bat last season, but he made serious strides behind the plate, and the Brewers decided to keep him around for another year. That looks to have been the right move thus far, as he has posted a stellar 1.276 OPS this spring.

Two hits in opener Narvaez went 2-for-3 with a double and a run in Sunday's spring opener.

Impact Narvaez struggled at the plate in 2020, so the two hits in his first appearance of the exhibition season were surely a welcome sight. While Narvaez posted just a .563 OPS last season, he did grade out well defensively, and he figures to form some sort of timeshare behind the plate with Manny Pina.
