Narváez Benched by Red Sox, Manager Cora Mum

On April 2nd, Boston Red Sox catcher, Carlos Narbias, got benched on Wednesday for reasons

the team won't spell out.

Manager Alex Korra kept his short with reporters, saying he just made a line-up switch after

chatting with Narbias, and it's for the best.

No details on whether it's discipline or something else.

Korra dodged direct questions, telling everyone to keep it between him and the player.

He added that stuff like this happens on every team, especially early in the season, and

Narbias gets it.

The 27-year-old Venezuelan backstop is in his second year with Boston after a solid

rookie campaign last season, where he hit 241.

With 15 homers and 50 RBI's over 118 games, so far this year, he's played three of six

games with four hits in nine abats.

Narbias spent nine years in the Yankee system before a trade deadline deal last summer sent

him to the socks for pitching prospect and some bonus.

He even debuted briefly in pinstripes and turned into a Yankee killer with a three-run

homer and a walkoff hit against them.

Teams handled these internal tweaks quietly, so we'll see if Narbias bounces back soon,

or if this sticks around the line-up conversations.

That's the story for today.
