Latest news
Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Narvaez started five of the previous six games, but he went 0-for-12 with a walk during that span to bring his season-long slash line down to .165/.241/.236 over 242 plate appearances. The Orioles will likely have Samuel Basallo split time between catcher and designated hitter down the stretch, so Narvaez is headed for a reduction in playing time after initially being the top option behind the plate following the Adley Rutschman trade.

Narvaez will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game versus the Yankees.
Samuel Basallo returned from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, but he's made one start at first base and one at designated hitter, allowing Narvaez to make a fourth consecutive start Thursday. Since Basallo is coming back from a right shoulder injury, the Orioles could be easing him back into catching duties. Narvaez is just 3-for-35 at the plate since joining Baltimore and has a .489 OPS on the season, so he's not a recommended fantasy play even if he does continue seeing regular reps.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Narvaez will take a seat after starting the last three games, giving way to Yohel Pozo behind the dish Sunday. Though he's been operating as the Orioles' primary backstop since being acquired from the Red Sox on Aug. 3, Narvaez will likely see a steep drop in playing time once Samuel Basallo (shoulder) is ready to return from the injured list. Basallo is set to begin a rehab assignment Sunday at Triple-A Norfolk.

Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Angels.
Narvaez started behind the dish in the first two games of the series, so he will get a breather during Thursday's afternoon tilt. Yohel Pozo is doing the catching and batting ninth for the Orioles.
RotoWire via ESPN · Aug 6
The Orioles acquired Narvaez, right-handers Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Witherspoon, outfielder Enddy Azocar and a player to be named later from the Red Sox on Monday in exchange for catchers Adley Rutschman (wrist), Jake Rogers and cash, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Though he had faded into a timeshare behind the plate in Boston with Connor Wong, Narvaez should settle in as the new No. 1 backstop for the Orioles, at least until Samuel Basallo (shoulder) makes his return from the injured list. Narvaez delivered a serviceable .725 OPS with 15 home runs over 118 games in his first full big-league campaign in 2025, but he's seen both his power and contact rate tail off dramatically in 2026. The 27-year-old slashed just .187/.260/.275 with a .088 ISO and 33.5 percent strikeout rate over 197 plate appearances with Boston this season.

Narvaez is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.
It marks the third straight game that Narvaez has been on the bench in favor of Connor Wong. Narvaez should be back behind the dish for the nightcap.
