Article: Brewers Activate Omar Narvaez

[TL Schwerz]

Just a couple of days after getting starting shortstop Willy Adames back in the starting lineup, the Milwaukee Brewers have also re-inserted catcher Omar Narvaez. Catcher Alex Jackson was played on the 10-day injured list to make room for the move.

Omar Narvaez was originally placed on the injured list at the beginning of June. The issue created an immediate need for a catcher and Alex Hall was selected from Single-A to get a body on the bench. Eventually Alex Jackson replaced Hall as the team's backstop behind Victor Caratini.

Narvaez returns to a .274/.364/.415 slash line for Milwaukee. His 119 OPS+ matches a career high mark he has previously held twice, but not since 2019 with the Seattle Mariners. Looking for added depth alongside Caratini, Narvaez's presence on the active roster will be much appreciated.

Jackson appeared in just two games during Narvaez's absence. He was 1-for-5 with three strikeouts. Jackson is not being optioned, but rather placed on the injured list himself with a left middle finger sprain. That move is retroactive to June 7.
