Mets set to recall Francisco Alvarez from Triple A: Sources

New York Times4 days ago
NEW YORK — Francisco Alvarez is returning to the New York Mets.
The Mets plan to recall Alvarez from Triple A ahead of their game on Monday, league sources told The Athletic. The news which was first reported by the New York Post will give way for the 23-year-old catcher to earn another chance in the majors after responding to a demotion last month with improvements on offense and defense.

Since going down to the minors following the Mets' game on June 21, Alvarez went 20-for-67 (.299 batting average) with 11 home runs, including one that carried an exit velocity of 109.7 mph on Sunday. It was his third home run in three days and seventh in a span of 19 at-bats.
Alvarez's defense, particularly his framing, earned strong reviews from coaches and pitchers at Triple-A Syracuse, too.
The Mets wanted Alvarez to work on both sides of his game. In 138 plate appearances this season before the demotion, he slashed just .236/.319/.333 with three home runs. Defensively, his framing ranked in the bottom 9 percent of MLB, according to Baseball Savant.
