Carlos Narvaez was the Red Sox’s cleanup hitter for Friday night’s series opener in the Bronx — his first trip there since the Yankees traded him to Boston in December.

Carlos Narvaez has been one of the few bright spots with the Boston Red Sox this season, emerging as the team's everyday catcher and current cleanup hitter. This weekend, he'll get his first taste of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry from the Boston side of things.

Last year, he finally got his chance — kind of — in debuting in July, when Jose Trevino hit the injured list. Narváez backed up Austin Wells and played in six games, going 3-for-13, before his opportunity ended.
