What's Happening?
Carlos Narvaez, catcher for the Boston Red Sox, is set to return to the lineup on Monday after being sidelined with a sore left knee.

Narvaez's return is crucial for the Red Sox as they aim to strengthen their lineup and improve their performance in the ongoing MLB season. His presence as the primary catcher provides stability and experience behind the plate, which is vital for managing pitchers and defensive strategies.
