Red Sox catcher Carlos Narváez discusses recent playing time changes

Carlos Narváez addressed his reduced playing time on June 8, 2026, following a difficult season. After a strong rookie year, he has struggled with at-bats, hitting only two home runs this season. His role diminished as Mickey Gasper has emerged offensively for the Red Sox, starting in the last two games against the Yankees. Narváez has started only four of the team's last twelve games and expressed a need to remain ready while noting a lack of communication from the coaching staff regarding his situation. He is focused on getting back into the lineup by improving his performance.
