Fantasy Impact:
Alvarez battled through an injury-plagued 2025 season that saw him only appear in 76 games for the Mets. He still managed to hit .256 with 11 home runs and 32 RBI across 277 plate appearances. While the batting average may never be great, the power is certainly there as evidenced by his 25 home runs in 123 games for the Mets in 2023. He underwent thumb surgery early in the offseason and should be ready for Opening Day. If he stays healthy, a return to 25 home runs could definitely be in the cards for Alvarez.
