Overview

  • Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow announced the procedure Monday at the club’s end-of-year press conference.
  • The team characterized it as a routine cleanup and expects Narváez to be fully ready for spring training.
  • The rookie played through a left-knee issue for the final two months, leaving an Aug. 5 game before returning Aug. 10.
  • Narváez caught 112 regular-season games (106 starts) and led MLB with 58 assists and 32 runners caught stealing, grading highly in framing and pop time.
  • He hit .241 with 15 home runs and a .726 OPS across roughly 118 games, with production dipping late in the season.
