Francisco Alvarez (knee) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, and his return is expected to end Torrens' run as the Mets' primary catcher. Torrens is batting .233 with a .638 OPS, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored, and nine doubles across 113 plate appearances this season.
Fantasy Impact
He has nine hits including two doubles over his last eight games and hit his first home run of the year Friday — a two-run shot — in his second consecutive multi-hit effort. Torrens finished 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored in the 5-0 win over San Diego.
The Mets and catcher Luis Torrens are in agreement on a two-year, $23 million contract extension.
Fantasy Impact
Torrens will remain in New York through 2028. He'll figure to remain in his backup role behind Francisco Alvarez.
Luis Torrens and the New York Mets avoided arbitration and Torrens is set to make $2.275 million in 2026.
Fantasy Impact
Torrens appeared in 92 games for the Mets last season and batted .226 with five home runs and 29 RBI. The catcher, however, led all of MLB by throwing out 40.8% of potential base stealers (20-of-49). In his eight seasons at the big league level, Torrens has hit .227 with 27 home runs in 408 career games. Torrens will likely be the backup catcher for the Mets in 2026, but will be on standby if Francisco Alvarez gets injured or struggles.
The New York Mets activated Luis Torrens from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Torrens will return to his role as the Mets' backup catcher after completing a single minor league rehab game, in which he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. In a corresponding move, Hayden Senger was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.
Luis Torrens began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, starting behind the plate and going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.
Fantasy Impact
The New York Mets placed Torrens on the injured list to give him a chance to rest from forearm discomfort he had been battling all season. He could have played through the injury but his return is expected to be around September 17, his first day of eligibility.
