Francisco Alvarez has returned to Mets camp following surgery to repair a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, an injury that has him sidelined for the second consecutive season. Although he is frustrated by the setback, he aims to resume hitting in three weeks and rejoin the lineup in six to eight weeks. Alvarez acknowledged the difficulty of losing time and the pressures that come with recovering from injuries while expressing determination to bounce back quickly to help the team. Luis Torrens will fill in during his absence.

I knew something bad had happened. I couldn't grip the bat with my left hand after the break.
If my body takes more time than normal [to recover], then maybe it takes eight weeks. But it's on me. If I feel comfortable, if I feel good, I can move quicker.
It's not good. I'm working the whole offseason to try to be healthy and that happened. It's hard to lose time during the season.
