Narvaez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Mets.

Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Continues to fill in serviceably
Rotowire
Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Toronto.
Narvaez has now logged at least one hit in five of his last six outings. Over his last nine games, the backstop is batting a healthy .265 (9-for-34) with three homers, one double, four RBI and seven runs scored. Although Connor Wong (wrist) is nearing a return from the injured list, Narvaez's performance in his stead may have helped him create a timeshare behind the dish for the Red Sox once the former is healthy.

Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Productive night at plate in rout
Rotowire
Narvaez went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the White Sox.
Narvaez lined his fourth double already this season in the fourth inning, later crossing the plate on Ceddanne Rafaela's two-run blast. Top backstop Connor Wong is still recovering from a fractured finger, so Narvaez should at least remain Boston's primary catcher for the time being. Narvaez is slashing just .208/.269/.354 with one home run, five RBI and six runs scored over 52 plate appearances (14 games), and his fantasy appeal will remain restricted by his consistent placement near the bottom of Boston's batting order.
