Carlos Narvaez

Carlos Narvaez, 27-year-old catcher for the Boston Red Sox, is dealing with a right third finger injury sustained during a slide in late May 2026. The injury occurred when he had to pop the finger back into place. While he left Sunday's game early, team management expressed optimism that he won't miss significant time. Narvaez has been operating in a timeshare catching role with Connor Wong and Mickey Gasper, starting approximately every other day. His recent performance shows a .219 batting average with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs. He recently extended a 6-game hitting streak with 7-for-20 performance including 4 extra-base hits, though the streak has since ended. The Red Sox appear confident in his quick recovery.
