Narváez Benched, Wong Steps Up: Red Sox vs Astros

On April 1st, Boston Red Sox gear up for their Wednesday afternoon clash with the Houston

Astros, but starting catcher Carlos Narvaya sits out.

He was listed in the initial lineup, yet manager Alex Korra scratched him, hinting it's tied

to some teen discipline early in the season.

Korra called it the right move for the club, and Narvaya's himself confirmed it's not

an injury or physical issue holding him back.

Connor Wong slides in behind the plate, fresh off a solid Tuesday start, where he went

one for three with an RBI and two strikeouts.

Wong's been reliable off the bench this young season, batting three for seven overall,

so Boston stays steady without Narvaya's.

We'll watch for updates on what led to this benching, but for now, the socks roll on against

Houston.
