Overview

  • The Mets optioned Francisco Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse and recalled veteran catcher Hayden Senger.
  • In 35 games this season, Alvarez has hit .236 with three home runs, 11 RBIs and a .652 OPS.
  • Statcast ranks Alvarez in the eighth percentile for pitch framing and near the bottom in stolen-strike rate.
  • A hamate fracture in his left hand delayed his season debut after previous UCL surgery further hampered his development.
  • Luis Torrens will take over as the Mets’ primary catcher as the team seeks more consistent production.
