The Astros released Narvaez on Sunday.
The 33-year-old backstop inked a minor-league deal with Houston on June 4 but never made much of a push for a promotion despite getting on base at an excellent .402 clip over 117 plate appearances with Triple-A Sugar Land. Narvaez will look to land a minor-league contract with a different organization with the hope of eventually earning another look in the big leagues at some point in the final two months of the 2025 season.
