Luis Torrens Steps Up for Mets Amid Alvarez's Injury

With Francisco Alvarez sidelined due to a thumb sprain, the New York Mets will rely on catcher Luis Torrens to pick up some of the slack. Torrens is currently slashing .214/.280/.301 this season, but showed more offensive production earlier in the year when Alvarez was also out, batting .258 with a home run and 10 RBIs in March/April. The team will need him to step up and improve his recent hitting struggles.
