The New York Mets are set to welcome back catcher Francisco Alvarez and infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil from the injured list ahead of their 2025 debuts. Alvarez's recovery from a hamate bone fracture has seen him participate in nine rehab games, albeit with modest offensive results. In his absence, journeyman Luis Torrens has struggled, making Alvarez's return timely. Meanwhile, McNeil has been sidelined due to an oblique strain but will add depth in various positions, potentially playing second base, designated hitter, or in the outfield, particularly after Jose Siri’s injury.
Alvarez, who has primarily caught for the Mets, is returning from a fractured hamate bone, a challenging injury for hitters transitioning back to play.
McNeil will return to the Mets lineup after being sidelined all year with an oblique strain, with roles at second base and designated hitter in mind.
