"It's a lot of pain," said Luis Arraez, who played through one for three months last season with the San Diego Padres. "It's not easy."

A terrible and painful future has been revealed for Francisco Alvarez, the New York Mets catcher. The Venezuelan Mets catcher suffered another hand injury in MLB 2025.

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.
