The New York Mets have designated veteran catcher Omar Narvaez for assignment. This move comes after Narvaez's disappointing performance on both offense and defense since signing a two-year deal with the Mets last offseason.
The Mets plan to re-evaluate him after these games, though he is expected to require additional rehab before being activated from the injured list due to the significant time he has missed.Narvaez, 32, struggled throughout his tenure in New York. He was hampered by a hamstring injury for most of last season and appeared in just 42 games down the stretch, with Francisco Alvarez securing the starting catcher role.
Despite a memorable walk-off hit last weekend, Narvaez has not provided much offensively this season, batting just .154 with two doubles and a .376 OPS across 28 games. To fill the roster spot left by Narvaez, the Mets have reportedly acquired catcher Luis Torrens in a trade with the Yankees.
