Omar Narvaez was released from his minor league contract with the Astros after hitting .258/.402/.333 in 117 plate appearances with Triple-A Sugar Land. The Astros carried three catchers for over two months, and Narvaez's addition during that time may have led to his expendability after Cesar Salazar was sent back to Triple-A. Narvaez has struggled in the majors recently, achieving a .201/.278/.286 slash line since 2022. His reputation as a defender suggests he may join a team needing catching assistance following his release.
Omar Narvaez was released from his minor league contract with the Astros after spending under two months at Triple-A Sugar Land, where he hit .258/.402/.333.
Narvaez's performance at the major league level has declined, posting a .201/.278/.286 batting line in 521 plate appearances since 2022.
The Astros' roster features Yainer Diaz, Victor Caratini, and Cesar Salazar, leading to Narvaez being viewed as expendable due to depth in minor leagues.
Narvaez, a veteran catcher, is expected to find a new opportunity with a team needing catching depth after his release from the Astros.
