The Chicago White Sox released veteran catcher Omar Narvaez, multiple outlets reported Monday.
An All-Star in 2021 as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, Narvaez played his first three seasons with the White Sox. He saw action in just 77 combined games over the last two seasons for the New York Mets.
The 33-year-old has batted .251 with 53 home runs and 203 RBIs in 677 career games with the White Sox, Seattle Mariners, Brewers and Mets. He batted .250 (6-for-24) with two RBIs in 11 Cactus League games this spring.
Narvaez signed as a free agent with the White Sox in January, with reports indicating a possibility he could return to the club on a minor league deal.
Chicago appears set to go with Korey Lee and Matt Thaiss as catchers to open the season.
