Narvaez was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday.

Narvaez was already out of the lineup Thursday, but his absence will now be extended. That will leave Victor Caratini as the primary catcher in the short term. Alex Hall had his contract selected in a corresponding move, though Mario Feliciano or Alex Jackson will presumably join the team beginning Friday.

Trevino went 2-for-4 in Thursday's matinee against the Angels, but he'll rest during the second game. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Casali is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

After starting in four of the previous five games, Casali looks to have leapfrogged Joey Bart on the depth chart at catcher, but the young backstop will get a turn behind the dish in the series opener in Miami. Over 76 plate appearances this season, Casali has produced a .250/.316/.456 slash line.
