"The Mets announced Wednesday that catcher Francisco Alvarez has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a torn meniscus in his right knee. Fellow catcher Hayden Senger has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. He'll split time behind the dish with Luis Torrens while Alvarez is out."
"Alvarez exited yesterday's game due to knee discomfort and underwent an MRI today, which revealed the tear. The Mets' announcement indicated only that a "timeline for return to play will be provided when possible." Given the nature of the injury, Alvarez will be sidelined a good bit longer than 10 days."
"Meniscus tears almost always require surgery, though the timetable for return depends on the extent of the tearing."
Francisco Alvarez was placed on the 10-day injured list after an MRI revealed a torn meniscus in his right knee. Alvarez left the previous game due to knee discomfort and received the diagnosis after further evaluation. The team stated that a timeline for return to play would be provided when possible. Because meniscus tears often require surgery, Alvarez is expected to miss more than the minimum injured-list period, depending on the extent of the tear. Hayden Senger was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. Senger will split time behind the plate with Luis Torrens while Alvarez is out.
