Francisco Alvarez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Receiving day game off Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Luis Torrens will receive a turn behind the plate while Alvarez rests after going hitless in four at-bats while catching eight innings of Saturday's 4-2 loss. Alvarez hasn't been a major culprit during the Mets' active 10-game losing streak; he's gone 7-for-28 (.250 average) with more walks (five) than strikeouts (four) during that stretch.

On base three times Friday Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 12-4 loss to the Cubs.

Impact While most of the Mets' roster has struggled during a nine-game losing streak, Alvarez has been able to keep his head above water. The 24-year-old backstop is slashing .294/.410/.549 through 18 games this season with four homers, five RBI, eight runs and a strong 8:11 BB:K, and his RBI opportunities should pick up as the lineup around him shakes out of its funk.

Pops pair of homers Alvarez went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Friday's 10-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Alvarez went yard for the first time since Opening Day with his fourth-inning blast. He added a second homer in the seventh. The catcher is up to three long balls, three RBI, five runs scored and a double while batting. 286 over eight contests. Alvarez will likely have a majority of the starts behind the dish over Luis Torrens. After back-to-back regular seasons with 11 homers, Alvarez is looking to tap back into the rookie-year power that saw him swat 25 homers in 123 games in 2023, without sacrificing his gains in making better contact.

Goes yard on Opening Day Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

Impact The 24-year-old catcher went back-to-back with rookie Carson Benge in the sixth inning off Justin Lawrence. Alvarez has been slowed by injuries the last couple seasons and hasn't come close to the 25 homers he launched in his first full big-league season in 2023, but he could be ready to put things together in 2026 if he can stay in the lineup.
