Carlos Narvaez C | BOS
Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Homers in win
Narvaez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Mets.
Narvaez led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a home run into the Monster seats that turned out to be the game-winning hit. The legend of the backup catcher continues to grow. Narvaez is 16-for-37 (.432) with five extra-base hits, seven RBI and eight runs scored over the last 12 games. As important as Tuesday's home run was, Narvaez's work behind the plate was equally key. Starter Walker Buehler was ejected early for arguing balls and strikes, forcing the backstop to shepherd six different relievers through 6.2 scoreless innings.

Prior to this strong stretch, he endured a 2-for-27 slump over his previous eight games. The catcher is up to 11 long balls, 25 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .264/.296/.500 slash line across 41 contests this season.

Nido spent six weeks with Detroit, slashing .343/.361/.343 with two RBI, four runs scored and a 0:10 BB:K across 37 plate appearances.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Grabbing seat Tuesday
Dingler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.
Jake Rogers is behind the dish Tuesday in his first game back from the injured list. Playing time at catcher between Dingler and Rogers will likely be divvied up fairly evenly moving forward.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Will be activated Tuesday
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Rogers (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in St. Louis, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Rogers has been sidelined since early April with a left oblique strain but is ready to go after playing in four rehab games with Triple-A Toledo. Dillon Dingler has played well since Rogers landed on the shelf, and the two catchers will likely split playing time behind the dish fairly evenly.
