Luisangel Acuña - Picking up rare start Sunday Acuna will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Acuna will pick up just his second start in the Mets' last 15 games. He had previously been a regular presence in the lineup against left-handed pitching, though even those opportunities could begin to fall by the wayside after Ronny Mauricio was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse earlier this month. The New York infield will become more crowded when Mark Vientos (hamstring) returns from the injured list during the upcoming week, and it wouldn't be too surprising if one of Acuna or Mauricio was sent to Triple-A in a corresponding transaction.
JUNE 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Ronny Mauricio - Getting consistent at-bats Mauricio will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Mauricio will nab his fifth start in six games, though three came while fellow infielder Brett Baty was out with a groin injury, and Sunday's start comes with the lefty-hitting Baty exiting the lineup due to the Phillies sending a lefty (Jesus Luzardo) to the hill. At this point, Mauricio doesn't looked to be locked in as a lineup regular against right-handed pitching when the Mets are at close to full strength, and his playing time could start to trend down once Mark Vientos (hamstring) makes his return from the injured list during the upcoming week.

Mets send slumping catcher Francisco Alvarez to minors

Scuffling catcher Francisco Alvarez has been demoted to the minors by the New York Mets
JUNE 22, 2025 • Associated Press
Brett Baty - On bench versus lefty Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Impact After he recently missed out on three straight starts due to a groin injury, Baty returned to the lineup this weekend and went 0-for-8 with a walk and a run scored while covering third base in the first two contests of the series. He's not believed to be dealing with any sort of setback with the groin injury, as his absence from the lineup Sunday likely has more to do with southpaw Jesus Luzardo taking the hill for the Phillies. Baty has produced a lowly .420 OPS thus far in June, and he could be at risk of losing out on playing time against right-handed pitching when Mark Vientos (hamstring) likely returns from the injured list during the upcoming week.
JUNE 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jeff McNeil - Idle for series finale McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Impact The Mets are stocking up on extra right-handed bats to counter Phillies southpaw Jesus Luzardo, so the left-handed-hitting McNeil will retreat to the bench for the series finale. McNeil has made it difficult for the Mets to take him out of the lineup against both right- and left-handed pitching of late; he had started each of the last 18 games and produced a .258/.319/.515 slash line with five home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs over that stretch.
JUNE 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jared Young - Sitting after two straight starts Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Young had served as the Mets' designated hitter while the team faced right-handed starting pitchers in the first two games of the series, but he'll give way to Starling Marte in the series finale while southpaw Jesus Luzardo toes the rubber for Philadelphia. Young and Marte could be deployed in a soft platoon at DH until Mark Vientos (hamstring) makes his return from the injured list.

Mets make surprising move, demote Francisco Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse, seek improvement The Mets optioned catcher Francisco Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse and recalled Hayden Senger on Sunday.
JUNE 22, 2025 • NORTHJERSEY.COM
Hayden Senger - Back in majors The Mets recalled Senger from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Impact The 28-year-old should serve as the backup to Luis Torrens with Francisco Alvarez being optioned to Syracuse. Senger has appeared in 13 big-league games this season and has a .179/.207/.214 slash line in 29 plate appearances.

Hayden Senger - Back in majors The Mets recalled Senger from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Impact The 28-year-old will rejoin the Mets ahead of Sunday's series finale in Philadelphia and should serve as backup to Luis Torrens with Francisco Alvarez being optioned to Syracuse. Senger has appeared in 13 big-league games this season and has a .179/.207/.214 slash line in 29 plate appearances.

Luis Torrens - Stepping in as starter Torrens is expected to take over as the Mets' No. 1 catcher after Francisco Alvarez was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. He'll be behind the plate and bat sixth for Sunday'...
Impact Torrens has served as New York's backup catcher since Alvarez was cleared for his season debut in late April, but the latter has been demoted due to his offensive struggles. Torrens has delivered a .232/.309/.344 slash line and strong defense, but he likely won't have much fantasy appeal outside of two-catcher formats.
JUNE 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Torrens - Likely to step in as starter Torrens is presumed to take over as the Mets' No. 1 catcher after Francisco Alvarez was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Impact Torrens has primarily served as New York's backup catcher since Alvarez was cleared for his season debut in late April, but the latter has been demoted due to his offensive struggles. Torrens has performed well for a secondary catcher with a .232/.309/.344 slash line and strong defense, but he likely won't have much fantasy appeal unless he boosts his production at the plate.

Francisco Alvarez - Demoted to Triple-A The Mets optioned Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Impact Alvarez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-4 win over Philadelphia, but the Mets will still send him to the minors because he's struggled to a .236/.319/.333 slash line and 27.5 percent strikeout rate through 35 contests this season. The 23-year-old started to revamp his swing mechanics over the winter, but his spring training was interrupted by a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, which sidelined him for the first month of the season. The Mets are likely sending Alvarez down to continue working on his swing, and he should return to the big club once he straightens out his plate approach. Hayden Senger was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move to serve as New York's backup catcher, while Luis Torrens is poised to take over the No. 1 job.
