“It’s always difficult when one of your guys falls so much,” Mendoza said of Alvarez. “But again, you have to continue. No one will regret us. Everyone is dealing with injuries. We’ll bring him back.”
Mendoza added surgery, which was needed on Saturday after injury to the hamata bone during living sticks, it will happen on Monday.
Hamate bone is an interesting injury for baseball players because it can cause the insertion of the power on the plate, something Alvarez is gifted with. Mets wanted to see more than 11 Homer from him in 2024 after waving in 25 2023, but it was proven that he could send him a long way to knock him.

Whether this injury will diminish that power remains to be seen.
Alvarez is also a very good defensive catcher, who owns a rocket for the hand and good framing skills. Obviously, the left hand will be his grip, it will take a strong rehab to ensure that it can maintain high speeds by entering with each terrain.
In the meantime, Mendoza and Mets will have to rely on Alvarez’s spare copy, Luis Torrens, a veteran who considered a man the first defense behind meals.

Torrens was with Mets 2024 after he traded from Seattle Mariners in the Queen. Hit .229/.292/.373 with .665 ops with only three homers and 15 RBI -AU reference to 47 games.
This is not the first big blow to Mets’s list before the opening day, as the beginning of Pitching hit.
Sean Mannaea, whose solid campaign in 2024 led to a three -year agreement to re -sign with Mets, tightened his hair and will not be ready to start a regular season.
Also, Frankie Montas, a free agent signatory, who is expected to provide a good depth in rotation, tightened his right lat, and is also six to eight weeks. That injury happened on February 17th.
Finally, Nick Madrigal, a service man who brought Mets to give the versatility of Mendoza’s settings, will miss the whole season 2025. After dislocating and broke the left shoulder.
This is certainly not news of the injury that Mets wanted to see, but they can surely solve the Storm after that in 2024. Their battle in the second half led to a magical post-season embroidery and running that ended up in NLCS in the hands of the eventual Los Angeles Dodgers world series.
