The Mets placed catcher Francisco Alvarez on the 10-day injured list due to a left thumb sprain. In Nido's case, the selection of his minor league contract will allow the veteran backstop to take part in his eighth Major League season.
Alvarez underwent an MRI after the game, and Mendoza said the team was 'pretty concerned' about the situation. Narvaez and Nido will handle catching duties in the meantime.
