The New York Mets have decided to demote catcher Francisco Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse due to his lackluster performance this season, which includes a batting average of .236 alongside three home runs and 11 RBIs over 35 games. In a corresponding move, catcher Hayden Senger has been promoted to serve as the backup to Luis Torrens, the primary catcher. This decision comes after Alvarez contributed to a victory against the Philadelphia Phillies, which ended the Mets' seven-game losing streak, but his overall performance remained a concern. Both teams are currently tied for first place in the National League East at 46-31.
