Francisco Alvarez (back) is not in the starting lineup Saturday. He was seen moving around better than he did on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Alvarez was removed from Friday's game after appearing shaken up after sliding into third base. He was diagnosed with back spasms, but it is encouraging to see improvement just one day later. Luis Torrens will take over behind the plate.

Francisco Alvarez went 2-for-4 in the Mets' 6-3 victory over the Phillies, delivering a home run, a double, and driving in three runs.
Fantasy Impact
This performance underscores a potentially rising trend for Alvarez, who has struggled to maintain a consistent batting average this season. His power metrics, however, are solid, with 11 homers and a .310 wOBA, suggesting that while his average may not dazzle, his ability to contribute impactful hits remains valuable for fantasy managers. Given his position as a catcher, his power numbers offer a useful edge, especially in leagues that reward extra-base hits and RBI.
Francisco Alvarez is out of the starting lineup for the Mets Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Alvarez will head to the bench for a day of rest. Luis Torrens will start behind the plate and bat seventh.
Francisco Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored in the Mets' 10-6 victory over the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact
His performance, highlighted by a crucial home run, contributed significantly to the team's win. Alvarez's season has been a mix of moderate power and typical rookie struggles, as evidenced by his .235 average and 10 homers over 93 games. His ability to drive in runs, now totaling 41 RBI, remains a bright spot. While his strikeout rate is high, his occasional power surges and RBI production make him a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues, especially given the scarcity of impactful fantasy catchers.
