OMAR NARVÁEZ NEWS

Sitting versus lefty Narvaez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Impact The lefty-hitting Narvaez will be on the bench for the second time in the Brewers' first four games, with both of his absences from the lineup coming against left-handed starting pitchers. The Brewers haven't formally announced that Narvaez will occupy the large side of a platoon at catcher with the switch-hitting Victor Caratini, but even when he picks up starts against southpaws, Narvaez will likely slot near the bottom of the order.
