Narvaez will draw the start at catcher and bat seventh in Monday's season opener against the Tigers.

Narvaez looks to be option 1A in the White Sox's unimpressive catching platoon, with Geovany Soto presumably opening the season as the backup following a meager spring. The 25-year-old Narvaez climbed the minor-league ladder quickly last season and eventually earned a call to the White Sox in the second half, with whom he registered a .350 OBP over 117 plate appearances. That small sample was encouraging, but it included a dearth of production in the power department, which will probably make him no more than a low-end option in AL-only or mixed leagues that start two catchers.
