It's April 1st.

Boston Red Sox Catcher Carlos Narbias got scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the

Houston Astros.

The 27-year-old was set to start, but got replaced by Connor Wong right after the cards

dropped.

Manager Alex Cora kept it low-key, saying it's an internal team matter that pops up everywhere

and makes sense this early in the season.

Bias kicked off strong at the plate with four hits and nine at bats, but struggled on

calls, going one for four.

Wong's held up better overall, three for seven hitting, and perfect one for one on challenges.

That edge likely played into the switch behind the dish.

Fans and analysts are buzzing about the move, seeing it as Cora staying ahead of any early

season hiccups for a squad.

Narbias gets it too, no drama reported.

It highlights how catchers got a nail both offense and game management to lock down the

spot.

No big injury news here, just a tactical call to keep the line of fresh.

The series wraps at Diken Park with first pitch at 2.10pm eastern time on NESN.

Red Sox aimed to close strong against Houston, and this tweak could steady their backstop

game moving forward.
