  • Report: Astros add Omar Narváez on Triple-A deal
    The Astros have signed Omar Narváez to a minor league deal, according to KPRC2’s Ari Alexander.

    Advice: The Astros might be more worried about Victor Caratini’s hip injury than they were originally. If Caratini can’t return after the break, Narváez could overtake César Salazar to become Yainer Diaz’s backup. Rotoworld Today, 10:57 am
     
  • Gets MiLB deal from Houston
    Narvaez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Astros on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: Narvaez was released by the Mets earlier this month after slashing .192/.254/.259 over 215 plate appearances since the start of the 2023 campaign. The left-handed-hitting catcher will offer experienced depth at Triple-A Sugar Land for now but could be a candidate to join the big-league roster soon with Victor Caratini (hip) expected to be out until after the All-Star break.
