"The break in his left pinky is believed to be a small fracture, which offers the hope that he can still return to action early next week. The 23-year-old was seen at Citi Field throwing with that recovering right hand, but a trainer was catching the ball for him. The early reports are that we're going to wait for the inflammation to come down, maybe two or three days, and then we'll get him going again, Mendoza said."
"Such a short timetable appears to be a best-case scenario, considering that this is a broken finger on a catcher's catching hand. The 2025 campaign has provided an onslaught of injuries for him, beginning with a fractured hamate bone in that left hand that required surgery and forced him to start the regular season roughly three weeks late. Alvarez had been hitting his stride at the plate after a month-long demotion to Triple-A."
Francisco Alvarez suffered a broken left pinky after being hit in the hand while batting during his first rehab appearance for Triple-A Syracuse. The fracture is believed to be small, and there is hope for a return early next week once inflammation subsides. Alvarez was seen throwing at Citi Field with a trainer catching while his right hand continued to recover. The injury is a setback from plans as he was rehabbing a sprained UCL in his right thumb sustained Aug. 17. Earlier in the season he underwent surgery for a fractured hamate and returned late, and he had been hitting well before the injured list stint.
