The Yankees optioned Narvaez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
With Jose Trevino (quad) returning from the injured list Thursday and claiming the backup catcher spot, Narvaez will be pushed back to the minor leagues. The 25-year-old appeared in six games during his latest stint in the majors, going 3-for-13 with six strikeouts. Should Trevino or Austin Wells need to miss an extended period of time down the stretch, Narvaez would almost certainly be called upon to rejoin the Yankees.
