Mets' Francisco Alvarez to Undergo MRI on Jammed Thumb

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez will undergo an MRI on his right thumb after jamming it on a head-first slide during Sunday night's MLB Little League Classic against the Mariners. Although he initially stayed in the game after his seventh-inning double, Alvarez was replaced in the eighth. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Alvarez would return to New York for the MRI, adding that the team is currently unaware of the injury's severity. Alvarez had a productive night at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI before his exit.
