The Red Sox have claimed catcher off waivers from the Blue Jays, according to announcements from both clubs. Toronto had designated him for a signment a few days ago. Boston had a 40-man roster vacancy, though that is now full. Snchez is out of options, so the Sox will need to make a corresponding active roster move when he reports to the club. Snchez, 28, signed a minor league deal with the Jays in the offseason. He has twice been called up to Allan Winans Jersey serve as an injury replacement. The first stint lasted about a week in late May/early June when was on the concu sion-related injured list. Once Heineman returned, the out-of-options Snchez was designated for a signment, cleared waivers, elected free agency and re-signed with the Jays. He got back to the majors a few weeks ago when needed a stint on the concu sion IL. Kirks return caused another DFA for Snchez, but this one will lead to another big league opportunity. The Sox have had and as their primary catching duo this year. Narvez is having a good season but mi sed Wednesdays game due to knee sorene s. Wong is having an awful season offensively, with a .160/.235/.179 line. At this point, its unclear how the Sox plan to proceed. Perhaps Narvez will go on the IL. The Sox could also option Wong to the minors. Its also po sible they want to carry three catchers while they give Narvez a few days to rest his knee. That would involve optioning someone else, perhaps , in order to open a spot for Snchez. Snchez debuted back in 2020 but his major league track record is still quite small. He has just 131 big league plate appearances with a .186/.224/.237 line. He has received solid grades for his glovework and generally put up good offensive numbers in the minors. From 2022 to the present, he has 931 Triple-A plate appearances with a .273/.350/.420 line and 97 wRC+. He is out of options but has barely over a year of service time, meaning hes cheap and can be retained beyond this year if hes still holding a roster spot at the end of the season.
