• Mets' Luis Torrens: Drawing start Sunday

  Torrens will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox. With top backstop Francisco Alvarez receiving a routine maintenance day, Torrens will step in behind the dish. Since being acquired from the Yankees on May 31, Torrens has appeared in 35 games (28 starts) for the Mets, logging a .250/.311/.406 slash line with three home runs, 15 RBI and 13 runs.

• Mets' Luis Torrens: Three hits in Monday's start

  07/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Torrens went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and three RBI in Monday's rout of the Twins. Getting the start behind the plate and batting eighth with Francisco Alvarez nursing a sore shoulder, Torrens did most of his damage with a two-run double in the seventh inning. Alvarez isn't expected to miss much action, but Torrens has demonstrated he's more than capable of filling in should the Mets decide their starting catcher needs a bit more time off. Through 72 plate appearances since joining the team, Torrens is slashing .308/.361/.538 with six doubles, three homers and 13 RBI.

• Mets' Luis Torrens: Drives in three against Bucs

  07/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Torrens went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates. Getting the nod behind the plate after Francisco Alvarez took a Paul Skenes fastball off his elbow Friday, Torrens opened the scoring with a bases-loaded double in the third inning. He hasn't fallen out of the game plan completely since Alvarez returned from the injured list about a month ago -- Torrens has started four of the last seven games, three at catcher and one at DH, and manager Carlos Mendoza will likely continue to find way to get him into the lineup given his .317/.364/.610 slash line with three homers in 44 plate appearances since joining the Mets.
