Francisco Alvarez likely out for the majority of the first half of the 2024 season with a torn ligament in his left thumb requiring surgery.
Mets veteran Starling Marte mentions a six-to-eight-week layoff for Alvarez, indicating a potential return sometime in June.
Alvarez's injury occurred while stumbling around first base during a game, aggravated by previous hits to his left hand.
Tomas Nido will step in as the catcher in Alvarez's absence, partnering with Omar Narvaez until Alvarez returns, expected in June at the earliest.
