Mets’ Catcher Carousel Spins Again
The New York Mets are making yet another adjustment to their catching situation. On Thursday, the team activated Francisco Alvarez from the injured list, welcoming back the young talent after a 17-game absence due to a thumb sprain.
Torrens Takes a Hit
During Alvarez’s time on the sidelines, Luis Torrens stepped in to handle the catching duties. However, his stint behind the plate has been cut short as he has now been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm contusion, as reported by SNY Mets. This latest injury underscores the ongoing challenges the Mets have faced this season with their catcher rotation.
Senger Steps Up Again
In response to Torrens’ injury, the Mets have turned to rookie catcher Hayden Senger, recalling him for the fourth time this season. Senger’s repeated call-up highlights the team’s reliance on fresh talent amidst a turbulent injury landscape. As the Mets navigate these changes, the catching position remains a focal point of concern and adaptation.
The fluctuating roster dynamics reflect the resilience required as the Mets strive to maintain their competitive edge in the tough landscape of Major League Baseball.
