New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez has encountered a setback due to an injury affecting his hand that necessitates surgery. It is anticipated that this injury will sideline him for several weeks, causing concern among fans and team officials regarding his timetable for returning to action with the Mets.
In this article, we will delve into the details of Alvarez’s injury.
How did Francisco Alvarez get injured?
Francisco Alvarez sustained a broken hamate bone in his left hand, an injury that happened as he swung during a live batting session, as per Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. He’s scheduled for surgery on Monday and is anticipated to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks.
As a gamer, I can’t hide the disappointment when our starting catcher got injured. It’s like losing one of the key players on my team in a game, but I’m not giving up hope. The team needs to rally now more than ever. We’ve got some great guys who will step up and grab the opportunities that come their way. I trust our bench, and I know our [president of baseball operations], David Stearns, will be looking for reinforcements if needed. It’s just another challenge we have to face together as a team.
For the second year in a row, Alvarez has encountered trouble with his left hand, which is his primary hand for catching. Back in April, he underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb.
When will Francisco Alvarez return to play for Mets?
It’s predicted that Francisco Alvarez will be out of action for 6-8 weeks due to an injury on his throwing hand. Manager Carlos Mendoza believes he may require the entire eight weeks to heal, considering his role as a catcher. If everything goes smoothly with his recovery, Alvarez might rejoin the Mets team by early May.
During the previous season, Alvarez sustained an injury to his left thumb when running to first base, leading to a seven-week surgery. Despite a robust comeback, Alvarez faced difficulties in the latter part of the season. Since Alvarez is out, Luis Torrens will step up as the primary catcher. The Mets also have Chris Williams, Hayden Senger, and Jakson Reetz ready to fill in as backup options. Alvarez, along with pitchers Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas, will begin the new season on the injured list.
