Mets Place Francisco Alvarez on Injured List With Torn Meniscus
The New York Mets announced on Wednesday that they placed catcher Francisco Alvarez (knee) on the 10-day injured list due to a right meniscus tear and recalled catcher Hayden Senger from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. Alvarez tore the meniscus in his right knee on a swing in the sixth inning of Tuesday's win over the visiting Detroit Tigers. If Alvarez requires surgery on his knee, which is likely, he'll probably be out for around four to six weeks in a best-case scenario, another major blow to the last-place Mets. Before his injury, the 24-year-old Venezuelan backstop was hitting .241 (27-for-112) with four home runs, 10 RBI, and 12 runs scored in his first 37 games of 2026. Injuries continue to be the story for Alvarez, who hasn't played in more than 123 games in his four seasons in the majors. Luis Torrens will now be New York's primary catcher with Alvarez injured, with Senger serving as the backup in Queens. Alvarez is not a must-hold in fantasy baseball leagues, and he's only rostered in 22% of Yahoo leagues.
