Overview
- Francisco Alvarez was diagnosed Wednesday with a torn meniscus in his right knee and will have surgery that is expected to sideline the Mets catcher for roughly six to eight weeks.
- Luis Torrens finished Tuesday’s game at catcher after Alvarez exited, and Triple-A backstop Hayden Senger has been identified as the likely call-up to cover the roster spot if needed.
- Juan Soto fouled a ball off his right ankle, left the game in the seventh, and X-rays were negative with the Mets listing him day-to-day as they reevaluate his status Thursday.
- The Mets beat the Tigers 3-2 on Wednesday on rookie Carson Benge’s walk-off single in the 10th inning, a late win that followed Bo Bichette’s game-tying hit in the seventh.
- Yankees left-hander Max Fried left his start with posterior elbow soreness and is set for imaging Thursday, a development that could affect rotation plans as the Subway Series approaches.
