Catcher Francisco Alvarez could miss the rest of this season after injuring his right thumb on Sunday, but Mets officials are hopeful he can delay surgery long enough to contribute to the team’s playoff run.
With Francisco Alvarez out for a minimum of 10 days, the Mets will lean on Luis Torrens and Hayden Senger to pick up some of the slack.
