With Alvarez sidelined, the Mets will have no choice but to turn over their catching duties to veteran Luis Torrens and Senger. Torrens has hit for a 68 OPS+ in 75 games to date; Senger, meanwhile, has hit for a 17 OPS+, albeit in a small sample size of 21 games.

Francisco Alvarez was removed from the Mets game on Sunday night after jamming his right hand into second base during the Little League Classic.

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez and his wife, Nahomi Rojas, welcomed daughter Renata on June 12. Rojas had extensively documented her life from pregnancy to giving birth.
