Breslow said the surgery will repair the meniscus in Narvaez’s knee.
“There were a couple times during the course of the season where it flared up, one of them pretty obviously to where he missed a little bit of time,” Breslow told reporters, referencing an early-August stint in which Narvaez sat out due to the injury. “He deserves a ton of credit for his willingness to play through this, potentially even at a time when others would have maybe bowed out, because he felt that attached to trying to help the group.
“But this should be a pretty straightforward procedure, and [we] don’t anticipate any issues.”
Boston acquired Narvaez in a rare trade with the Yankees on Dec. 11, sending right-hander Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz to New York in return. The 26-year-old catcher turned into one of the team’s biggest surprises, hitting .241 with 15 home runs and 50 RBIs in 118 games.
