Brewers to Activate Catcher Omar Narvaez

Milwaukee sent Omar Narvaez to Triple-A Nashville on August 16 to begin a rehab assignment. Now just three days later, he’s back in the major league clubhouse and looking to give the Brewers a boost as they angle towards the postseason.

Craig Counsell’s club is locked in a race with the St. Louis Cardinals, the only other team in the NL Central trying this season. Narvaez brings a steadying veteran presence behind the plate, and that’s needed after the tumultuous tenure that Pedro Severino displayed this season.

Although soft tissue injuries can linger, Narvaez and Milwaukee are both hoping the brief time off was enough to put this in the rearview mirror.
