Ties career high with five RBI Torrens went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Monday's 13-3 win over the Phillies.

Impact The veteran catcher put together one of the best games of his career, tying his career high with five RBI. Torrens lined an RBI double in the sixth, then launched a three-run homer off Jordan Romano in the seventh to blow the game open before adding a run-scoring single in the eighth. Remarkably, the five RBI matched his total from his previous 53 games this season combined, a stretch in which he batted just .194.

Getting second straight start Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact A sore left hand kept Torrens out of action for three straight games before he re-entered the lineup Sunday in the Mets' 4-3 loss to Atlanta. Torrens' hand checked out fine after going 1-for-3 with a base hit while playing eight innings behind the dish, so he'll stick in the starting nine for the second straight day as the Mets open a three-game set with the Phillies. Torrens is likely to see the bulk of the starts at catcher until top backstop Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is ready to return from the injured list.

Out again due to sore hand Torrens (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Torrens will miss out on a fourth consecutive start while he manages a sore left hand, but the injury hasn't been considered serious enough for the Mets to call up a third catcher from the minors. Hayden Senger will get the nod behind the dish, but Torrens is expected to be available off the bench and could re-enter the starting nine as soon as Monday's game against the Phillies.

Battling hand soreness Torrens has been dealing with soreness in his catching hand but is available off the bench Saturday against Atlanta, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Torrens was surprisingly held out of the lineup Saturday for the third straight game, but it turns out his absence is due to soreness in his left hand. While he'll be available off the bench Saturday, Hayden Senger will draw another start behind the plate.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Still idle Torrens is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Torrens will yield to Hayden Senger behind the plate for a third straight game. It's a rather surprising development, considering Torrens was the favorite to take over the starting catcher role while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is sidelined. Torrens started the first two games sans Alvarez and is slashing .210/.275/.299 in 233 plate appearances this season.

Not starting again Friday Torrens is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

Impact After starting the first two games at catcher following the injury to Francisco Alvarez (thumb), Torrens has now been on the bench for two straight contests in favor of Hayden Senger. It's possible the two could split catching duties fairly evenly while Alvarez is out.

Takes back over as top backstop Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Torrens will stay in the lineup for a second straight game and is poised to serve as the Mets' primary backstop after Francisco Alvarez was diagnosed earlier this week with a UCL sprain in his right thumb, which could threaten his availability for the rest of the season. Though Torrens should provide an upgrade defensively behind the plate, he'll likely struggle to match the production Alvarez provided as a hitter. Over 229 plate appearances on the season, Torrens has contributed a .214/.279/.305 slash line with two home runs, 16 RBI and 10 runs across 77 games.

Hitting bench in Alvarez's return Torrens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Impact After starting behind the plate in each of the Mets' first three games out of the All-Star break, Torrens will get a breather as New York opens a three-game set with the Angels. After a productive month-long stint at Triple-A Syracuse, Francisco Alvarez was recalled Monday and will spell Torrens at catcher. With Torrens producing a .505 OPS since the beginning of July, he could be at risk of losing his grip as the Mets' preferred option at catcher if Alvarez can continue his hot-hitting ways in his return to the big club.
