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.
New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is used to facing heat on the baseball field, but it seems he's catching some from his own household as well.
With Francisco Alvarez out for a minimum of 10 days, the Mets will lean on Luis Torrens and Hayden Senger to pick up some of the slack.
