On bench Sunday
Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
It's the second straight game on the bench for Narvaez, who has just one hit (a double) and three walks over his past 16 at-bats. The 27-year-old recently appeared to have taken a firmer hold of Boston's No. 1 catching job by starting five of seven games, but he's now started just two of the past six contests. Mickey Gasper is receiving his second straight nod Sunday, while Connor Wong has also picked up two starts during that six-game stretch.
