Thu Nov 2 202321:14Omar Narvaez Exercises His 2024 Option
New York Mets catcher Omar Narvaez exercised his $7 million player option for the 2024 season on Thursday, so he will return to Queens next year. This move doesn't come as a surprise with Narvaez slated to earn $7 million next season as the primary backup to up-and-coming young backstop Francisco Alvarez. The 31-year-old Narvaez is a glove-first catcher who hit a weak .211/.283/.297 in 49 games for the Mets in 2023 with two home runs, five doubles, seven RBI and 12 runs scored in 146 plate appearances in his first year with the Mets. Narvaez can be avoided in fantasy drafts next spring in the vast majority of leagues. Alvarez is the fantasy backstop you want.

Mon Jun 5 202314:01Mets Reinstate Omar Narvaez From Injured List
The New York Mets reinstated catcher Omar Narvaez (calf) from the 60-day injured list on Monday and designated catcher Tomas Nido for assignment in a corresponding move. Narvaez will return to the big-league roster after missing the last two months with a pretty serious left-calf strain. With Nido out of the picture, the 31-year-old veteran backstop will split playing time behind the dish with rising catching prospect Francisco Alvarez. Narvaez had only 14 at-bats before going down with his calf injury, and he had four hits, two RBI and a run scored. Alvarez has picked things up offensively after a slow start, and he'll have much more offensive upside than Narvaez moving forward.

Thu May 25 202309:57Omar Narvaez To Begin His Rehab Assignment Thursday
New York Mets backstop Omar Narvaez (calf) is ready to start his rehab assignment and will join High-A Brooklyn on Thursday, according to MLB.com. The one-time All-Star has been out of action since April 5 after suffering a calf strain. Before the injury, Narvaez was hitting .286 with no home runs over just five games. The 31-year-old should return to the Mets in early June if all goes well. When he is back, expect him to take Gary Sanchez's spot on the roster and back up fellow catcher Francisco Alvarez. Without everyday playing time, Narvaev is irrelevant in just about every league.

Fri May 19 202309:15Omar Narvaez Almost Ready For A Rehab Assignment
New York Mets catcher Omar Narvaez (calf) is nearing a rehab assignment, which should come late next week, according to MLB.com. The 31-year-old went on the injured list after suffering a calf strain on April 5. He isn't eligible to return until June 5, but that might not be out of reach as things are heading in the right direction. Narvaez was hitting .286 with one run and two RBI before the ailment, but he struggled mightily in 2022, slashing .206/.292/.305 with four homers across 84 games. The Mets recently recalled backstop Gary Sanchez, so fantasy managers can expect to see Francisco Alvarez and Sanchez sharing time behind the plate for now.

Thu Apr 6 202312:39Omar Narvaez Put On Injured List, Could Miss 8-9 Weeks
Updating a previous report, New York Mets catcher Omar Narvaez (calf) underwent tests on Thursday morning that showed a medium- to high-grade strain of his left calf. He will be put on the injured list, and a typical return to play for this type of injury is around eight to nine weeks. It's a tough break for Narvaez, who was playing well both offensively and defensively in the early going. The Mets are calling up top prospect Francisco Alvarez to replace Narvaez, and he should be in the starting lineup on Friday against the Miami Marlins. Alvarez, a 21-year-old catcher, needs to be added in any leagues where he's available. He's expected to split playing time behind the dish with Tomas Nido while Narvaez is out, but he should serve as the primary catcher with much more offensive upside than Nido.

Thu Apr 6 202312:18Omar Narvaez Could Go On Injured List
The feeling around the New York Mets clubhouse on Thursday morning was that catcher Omar Narvaez (calf) would probably need a stint on the injured list after leaving Wednesday's game with discomfort in his left calf. "I felt tightness," Narvaez said. "I'd rather call it for a day and be safe for the next day. I couldn't put myself at risk for the whole season. I wasn't going to play the hero." If Narvaez ends up landing on the IL, top prospect Francisco Alvarez would be called up for Friday's game. It's a tough break for Narvaez, who has hit .286 in the early going while contributing strong defense behind the plate for the Mets. Alvarez didn't look great this spring, but he's hit two homers in four games so far for Triple-A Syracuse.

Thu Dec 15 202221:07Omar Narvaez Joins Mets On One-Year Deal
The New York Mets and free-agent catcher Omar Narvaez agreed to a one-year deal worth $8 million on Thursday that includes a $7 million player option for the 2024 season. Narvaez comes to Queens after serving as the Milwaukee Brewers' primary catcher over the last three years. He made the All-Star team for the first time in his career in 2021, but he took a big step back in 2022 by slashing just .206/.292/.305 with four home runs, 23 RBI and 21 runs scored in 296 plate appearances and 84 games played. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter will join a Mets roster that already includes backstops Francisco Alvarez (a top prospect), James McCann and Tomas Nido. Alvarez is eventually expected to become the primary catcher, so playing time might be hard to come by for Narvaez in his new digs.

Sat Aug 20 202211:40Omar Narvaez Activated From Injured List
The Milwaukee Brewers activated catcher Omar Narvaez (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday and optioned catcher Mario Feliciano to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Narvaez went 3-for-8 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in two minor league rehab games with Nashville before the Brewers felt comfortable bringing him back to the big leagues as their primary backstop. He should be back in the starting lineup on Saturday against right-hander Marcus Stroman and the Chicago Cubs. The 30-year-old veteran catcher will return to a .237/.324/.363 slash line in 2022 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 17 runs scored in 190 at-bats for the Brew Crew.

Thu Aug 18 202218:15Omar Narvaez Likely To Return Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers skipper Craig Counsell said that catcher Omar Narvaez (quadriceps) will probably return from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. In two games on his minor league rehab assignment for Triple-A Nashville, Narvaez has gone 3-for-8 with two RBI and a run scored, so he's nearing a return to the major league roster. The 30-year-old will return to primary catching duties for Milwaukee when he's activated. He's hit a very modest .237/.324/.363 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 17 runs scored for the Brew Crew this year in only 190 at-bats. Victor Caratini and Mario Feliciano have been splitting playing time behind the dish with Narvaez on the injured list.

Fri Aug 12 202223:38Omar Narvaez Nearing Rehab Assignment
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez (quad) is roughly a week away from beginning a rehab assignment, according to manager Craig Counsell. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since August 4 due to a left quad strain. The expectation is that he'll report to Triple-A Nashville within the next week. He should only need a few games before he's ready to return to the big league roster. Victor Caratini should continue to be the primary catcher in Milwaukee until Narvaez is ready to return.

Thu Aug 4 202211:07Omar Narvaez Placed On Injured List
The Milwaukee Brewers placed catcher Omar Narvaez (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left quadriceps strain and recalled catcher Mario Feliciano from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Narvaez isn't a must-stash in leagues that start only one catcher, as he is hitting .237/.324/.363 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 17 runs scored in 190 at-bats for the Brew Crew this year. With the Brewers designating Pedro Severino for assignment on Wednesday, Victor Caratini will serve as the team's primary backstop until Narvaez is ready to return. In 148 at-bats in 2022, Caratini is slashing .230/.350/.405 with seven home runs, 20 RBI and 20 runs scored.

Mon Aug 1 202215:39Teams Checking In On Omar Narvaez
Teams have been checking in on Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez with the trade deadline approaching on Tuesday, according to sources. The 30-year-old is making $5 million this year before becoming a free agent at the end of this season. The contending Brewers already traded left-handed reliever Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres in exchange for lefty Taylor Rogers, righty Dinelson Lamet, pitching prospect Robert Gasser and outfielder Esteury Ruiz, and it's possible they might not be done dealing. In his third year in Milwaukee, Narvaez is hitting .235/.324/.364 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 16 runs scored in 213 plate appearances over 59 games. Victor Caratini and Pedro Severino would split catching duties for the Brew Crew if Narvaez is traded.

Mon Jul 4 202214:57Omar Narvaez On The Bench Monday For Milwaukee
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez isn't in the starting lineup Monday. The 30-year-old is batting .258 with a .347 on-base percentage and three home runs in 176 plate appearances. The Brewers will instead start Pedro Severino behind the plate against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Justin Steele. Severino hit .248 with a .308 on-base percentage and 11 home runs in 419 plate appearances last season. He's worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues on Monday.

Thu Jun 9 202216:47Omar Narvaez Clears COVID-19 Protocols
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez has cleared COVID-19 protocols. He is back with the team for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. However, he has not been activated off the COVID-19 injured list yet. The Brewers are deciding whether they want to activate him on Friday or if they want to give him some field work prior to putting him back in action. Narvaez has slashed .274/.364/.415 over 32 games this year while compiling two home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs. Victor Caratini has been the team's primary catcher with Narvaez out, but he will return to a reserve role soon.

Thu Jun 2 202221:18Omar Narvaez Placed On COVID-19 Injured List
The Milwaukee Brewers placed catcher Omar Narvaez on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday. Alex Hall was selected from Class-A Wisconsin in a corresponding move. It's unclear if Narvaez tested positive for the virus or was a close contact. The 30-year-old was initially out of Thursday's lineup and will now face a short-term absence. He is slashing .274/.364/.415 with two home runs, 10 RBI, and 11 runs scored over 121 plate appearances in 2022. Victor Caratini will serve as the team's primary catcher while Narvaez is sidelined. Caratini is a speculative add in two-catcher formats after slashing .230/.324/.443 with four homers and 10 RBI across 21 games in 2022.

Wed May 25 202214:41Omar Narvaez Back In The Lineup Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez is back in the team's lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the San Diego Padres and right-handed starter Yu Darvish. Narvaez previously got the day off on Tuesday. The veteran is hitting .237 with a .337 on-base percentage and a pair of home runs in 98 plate appearances this season. He'll hit seventh against Darvish and the Padres. Narvaez is worth a look for fantasy managers in need of streaming help at catcher in deeper leagues where on-base percentage is part of the scoring.

Mon Apr 11 202214:30Omar Narvaez On The Bench Monday
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez will begin Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles on the bench. Narvaez hit .266 with a .342 on-base percentage and 11 home runs in 445 plate appearances last season. He's started the year hitless in his first six plate appearances but has drawn a walk and reached base on a hit by pitch. Instead, it'll be Victor Caratini starting behind the plate. The 28-year-old spent last season in San Diego, hitting .227 with a .309 on-base percentage, seven home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 356 plate appearances. He'll bat ninth against Orioles left-hander Bruce Zimmermann and is probably better left on fantasy benches on Monday.

Sat Oct 9 202117:00Omar Narvaez On The Bench For NLDS Game 2
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game. Narvaez had a hit in three plate appearances on Friday in Milwaukee's series-opening win, but the Brewers will instead turn to Manny Pina behind the plate in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves and left-handed starter Max Fried. Pina finished the regular season hitting .189 with a .293 on-base percentage and 13 home runs in 208 plate appearances. However, the veteran was much more productive against left-handed pitchers. The 34-year-old hit .221 with a .348 on-base percentage and six home runs in 92 regular-season plate appearances against left-handed pitching. Pina is batting eighth on Saturday.

He's worth a look as a streaming option in deeper leagues where on-base percentage is part of the scoring.
