The New York Mets placed catcher Francisco Alvarez on the 10-day injured list with a torn right knee meniscus after an MRI confirmed the injury; Hayden Senger was recalled and will split catching duties with Luis Torrens while Alvarez is out, a setback for a lineup already battered by injuries as Alvarez had been hitting .241/.317/.393 this season.
The Mets signed catcher Luis Torrens to a two-year, $11.5 million extension through 2028 ($5.75M per year) with up to $2M in bonuses, keeping him in Queens after he filled in for the injured Francisco Álvarez in 2025. Torrens batted .225/.281/.347 in 444 plate appearances for the Mets and appeared in 92 games in 2025, his second-most. He’s valued for defense (Gold Glove finalist in 2025; +11 Catching Runs; 37 of 84 baserunners thrown out since 2024). The deal adds to the Mets’ payroll under a 110% luxury-tax levy, with an estimated $12.65M tax bill, as the club contemplates its 2026 performance and potential deadline moves.
