  • Three more hits Tuesday
    Alvarez went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

    Advice: The Mets' offense has suddenly roared to life, scoring 52 runs over the course of a seven-game win streak, and it's perhaps no coincidence that Alvarez returned from his thumb injury the day before the streak started. The 22-year-old backstop has delivered back-to-back three-hit performances, boosting his slash line on the season to .269/.305/.372 through 24 contests with a homer, nine runs and 14 RBI.

  • Getting Sunday off
    Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Fry will rest after he had started each of the past seven games at catcher or in the corner outfield while going 6-for-26 at the dish. His absence Sunday opens up a spot in the lineup at designated hitter for Kyle Manzardo, who had been on the bench for each of the past three contests. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:45 am

  • Resting for day game
    Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Alvarez will get a breather for the day game Sunday after he started behind the plate Friday and Saturday.

  • Sitting out Thursday
    Alvarez is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Marlins.

    Advice: Alvarez started at catcher in the first two games of the series after being activated from the 10-day injured list, but he will sit out the finale. Luis Torrens will do the catching for Luis Severino. Rotowire.com Thursday, 12:09 pm
     
  • Mets activate Alvarez (thumb) off injured list
    Mets activated C Francisco Alvarez off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Alvarez is back after missing close to six weeks while recovering from left thumb surgery. The 22-year-old should see the overwhelming majority of reps behind the plate, and the power in his right-handed bat makes him worthy of fantasy consideration in most formats. Just keep in mind that he’s not likely to fill out many other categories in 2024. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:59 am
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Mets activated Alvarez (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Alvarez has been sidelined since late April with a fractured left thumb but is ready to roll after playing in six rehab games. It's possible the Mets will ease him back into everyday action with some extra off days mixed in, but he will immediately regain his role as the club's primary catcher. Alvarez was slashing .236/.288/.364 with one home run in 16 contests before getting hurt. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:42 am
