Mets' Alvarez to have right knee surgery, Mendoza hopes catcher could return in 6-8 weeks

Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez needs surgery to repair a torn right meniscus in his right knee, and New York manager Carlos Mendoza hopes he could return in six-to-eight weeks foll...

MAY 13 • Associated Press

Out at least six weeks Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Alvarez will undergo surgery to address the torn meniscus in his right knee, and the Mets are hopeful that the catcher will be able...

Impact Alvarez exited Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Tigers after twisting his knee and was placed on the 10-day injured earlier Wednesday when an MRI confirmed the meniscus tear. Mendoza said that an official timeline for Alvarez's return won't be established until surgery is performed, but the skipper's comments point to the young catcher getting a partial meniscectomy rather than a full meniscus repair, which would entail a multi-month recovery. Luis Torrens will start at catcher Wednesday against Detroit and is likely to serve as the Mets' primary backstop for however long Alvarez is shelved.

Shelved with meniscus tear The Mets placed Alvarez on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right meniscus tear.

Impact Alvarez sustained the injury during the sixth inning of the Mets' 10-2 win over the Tigers on Tuesday, when he twisted his right leg on a swing. He was diagnosed with the meniscus tear following an MRI on Wednesday and will now be sidelined indefinitely. A clearer timeline for Alvarez's return should be known once the Mets determine whether he'll require a partial or total meniscectomy to address the injury.

Headed for MRI Alvarez (knee) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The catcher left Tuesday's game in the sixth inning after awkwardly twisting his right leg on a swing. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said only "we've got to wait" for the results of the imaging after the game. Given Alvarez's spotty track record when it comes to staying healthy, expect Luis Torrens to be behind the plate Wednesday against the Tigers regardless of the results. Alvarez is slashing .241/.317/.393 through 37 games this season with four homers and 10 RBI.
