Gets another start at catcher Alvarez is starting at catcher and batting ninth Tuesday against the Nationals.
Impact Alvarez connected for his first major-league homer of the season in Sunday's series finale against the Giants and will be rewarded with a second straight start behind the dish as the Mets open a three-game set versus Washington. Tomas Nido is sitting.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Slugs first homer of season Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
Impact His sixth-inning shot off Tyler Rogers tied the game at 4-4, but the Mets eventually came up short. The homer was Alvarez's first in eight games since his promotion, and the 21-year-old has begun to alternate starts behind the dish with Tomas Nido. Alvarez is batting just .148 (4-for-27) in the majors this year with a 0:9 BB:K, but with more consistent playing time, he could heat up -- three of his four hits have come in his last three starts.
APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Out of starting lineup Thursday Alvarez is not in the lineup Thursday night against the Giants.
Impact Tomas Nido will catch and bat ninth with left-hander Sean Manaea on the mound for San Francisco. Alvarez has started just five of a possible 13 games since his promotion from Triple-A Syracuse on April 7.
APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting at catcher Saturday Alvarez is starting at catcher and batting ninth Saturday against the Athletics.
Impact It's just his third start in seven possible games since his callup from Triple-A Syracuse last Friday, and all three of those starts have been behind the plate. Alvarez has yet to work into the DH mix for the Mets.
APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Out of lineup again Friday Alvarez is not in the starting lineup Friday at Oakland.
Impact Alvarez has started just two of a possible six games since his promotion from Triple-A Syracuse last week. Tomas Nido is catching and batting ninth for the Mets on Friday night against the Athletics. Daniel Vogelbach is serving as the designated hitter and hitting sixth.

Time for middling Mets to promote top prospect Brett Baty, utilize best roster

The Mets not having top prospect Brett Baty on the Opening Day roster was curious. Now it's a controversy, and it's only hurting the club.

Time for middling Mets to promote top prospect Brett Baty, utilize best roster
Starting at catcher Tuesday Alvarez is starting at catcher and batting ninth Tuesday against the Padres.
Impact Mark Canha is at designated hitter and Tomas Nido is on the bench. Alvarez drew his first major-league start of the season Sunday versus the Marlins and went 1-for-4 with an RBI single. The 21-year-old top prospect had slugged two home runs in four games at Triple-A Syracuse prior to his promotion last Friday.

Collects RBI in first start Alvarez went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Marlins.
Impact Getting the start behind the plate and batting eighth, Alvarez got the Mets on the board in the second inning with a single that brought home Mark Canha, although he also struck out twice. Manager Buck Showalter has made it clear he prefers Tomas Nido's defense and game-calling at catcher to Alvarez's, but with the team's offense struggling early, the 21-year-old top prospect could find his way into the lineup frequently at either catcher or DH if he can make an impact with his bat.

Season debut coming Sunday Manager Buck Showalter said Alvarez, who isn't in the lineup Saturday versus the Marlins, will start Sunday's series finale, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Impact Alvarez was promoted from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday but has been limited to bench duties in his first two games with the big club. The 21-year-old is poised to see significant playing time between catcher and designated hitter with Omar Narvaez (calf) set to be sidelined for the next two-plus months. Tomas Nido is working behind the plate again Saturday.
APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Saturday Alvarez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.
Impact The 21-year-old was officially called up by the Mets on Friday but hasn't received a start in the first two games with the big club. Alvarez could work behind the plate Sunday with Tomas Nido working back-to-back days, and it should only be a matter of time before the top prospect is seeing regular action between catcher and designated hitter.

Not in Friday's lineup Alvarez is not in the Mets' lineup for Friday's home opener versus the Marlins.
Impact Alvarez was officially recalled prior to Friday's contest but will be on the bench in favor of Tomas Nido. The 21-year-old will play plenty, likely receiving some starts at designated hitter in addition to catcher, but Nido is also going to continue getting his starts.
APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Promotion made official Alvarez was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Friday.
Impact With Omar Narvaez (calf) expected to be sidelined until June, Alvarez will get a long look with the big club, likely sharing catching duties with Tomas Nido while also drawing some starts in the designated hitter spot. The 21-year-old's upside alone warrants a pick-up in fantasy leagues where he is available, although keep in mind he might only be eligible at DH initially. Alvarez posted an .885 OPS with 27 home runs in 112 games last season in the minors and added another homer during his brief time in the majors. He had already popped two homers through four games this year with Syracuse prior to his promotion.

Mets reportedly calling up top prospect Francisco Álvarez

The Mets are calling up top prospect Francisco Álvarez. Will he be their new starting catcher?
APRIL 6, 2023
Mets reportedly calling up top prospect Francisco Álvarez
Lined up for big role in NY Alvarez is in position to receive steady playing time with the Mets as Omar Narvaez recovers from a severe left calf strain.
Impact Narvaez was diagnosed Thursday with a medium-to-high grade strain of his left calf after making an early exit from Wednesday's game against the Brewers. He will be placed on the injured list before Friday's home opener versus the Marlins, and Alvarez is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. The 21-year-old top prospect figures to share time at catcher with Tomas Nido and can get another helping of starts out of the DH spot. He posted an .885 OPS with 27 home runs in 112 games last season between the Double-A and Triple-A levels, and would appear capable of offering immediate fantasy production as he makes his way to Queens.
APRIL 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joining taxi squad Alvarez is headed to New York to join the Mets in the event he is needed on the active roster, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Impact Omar Narvaez exited Wednesday's game in Milwaukee with a calf injury and will be evaluated by team doctors when they arrive in New York. If he needs to go on the injured list, Alvarez will be the one to replace him. The young catcher is 3-for-12 with a home run and a double in the early going at Triple-A Syracuse. If he's added to the Mets' roster, Alvarez would likely share time with Tomas Nido behind the plate and perhaps see some starts at designated hitter while Narvaez is out. He's worth scooping up in fantasy leagues, but keep in mind he might only be DH-eligible initially.
APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Headed for Triple-A The Mets optioned Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.
Impact Though Alvarez remains the Mets' long-term plan at catcher, he had been splitting time behind the plate and at designated hitter this spring while easing his way back from the ankle surgery he underwent last October. Alvarez is expected to see the bulk of his starts at catcher early in the season at Triple-A, and if he's able to acquit himself well defensively while continuing to draw walks and hit for power, he may not have to wait long for a call-up to the big leagues. The Mets brought in Omar Narvaez in free agency on a two-year deal over the winter, but he took a major step back with the bat in 2022 and is viewed as a placeholder until Alvarez is deemed ready for the full-time catching job.

To play catcher Friday Alvarez (ankle) will make his first Grapefruit League appearance at catcher Friday against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Alvarez has been limited to DH duties over the Mets' first handful of spring games as he completes his recovery from October ankle surgery, but the restrictions are ready to be lifted. The 21-year-old top prospect is on track to become a key contributor for New York at some point in 2023, probably after one more short stay at Triple-A Syracuse.
MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to catch games by Friday Mets manager Buck Showalter announced that Alvarez (ankle) will likely get a chance to catch in a Grapefruit League, Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact The Mets are being cautious with Alvarez after their top prospect underwent ankle surgery in the offseason. The backstop has appeared as a designated hitter in Florida, but will get a chance to be behind the plate by the end of the week. Alvarez has a chance to be a star fantasy contributor, but is likely to begin the 2023 season in Triple-A with Syracuse.
