Overview

  • The Mets have informed Francisco Alvarez he will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Los Angeles Angels.
  • Alvarez was optioned on June 21 after posting a .236 average with three homers and 11 RBIs in 35 early-season games with New York.
  • In Syracuse he has rebounded with a .299 batting average and 11 home runs over 19 contests, including six homers in his last four appearances.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza highlighted Alvarez’s power surge and noted significant improvements in his receiving and blocking during the minor-league stint.
  • With Luis Torrens slashing a .593 OPS in recent games, the Mets are banking on Alvarez’s offensive and defensive strides to strengthen their catching depth.
