Mets Catcher Francisco Alvarez Undergoes Knee Surgery, Out 6-8 Weeks

Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez has been placed on the 10-day injured list after sustaining a meniscus tear in his right knee while swinging against the Tigers. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Alvarez will undergo surgery to address the injury, with the team hopeful for a return in six to eight weeks. This is a significant blow to the Mets' defensive depth, leading to Hayden Senger's call-up from the minors.
