Francisco Alvarez goes hitless in rehab game for Triple-A Syracuse

Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez struggled in his second rehab game at Triple-A Syracuse on June 4, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. This comes after he performed well in his rehab debut following knee surgery for a torn meniscus. Alvarez's progress is closely monitored, as manager Carlos Mendoza requires him to demonstrate the ability to play back-to-back games before returning from the injured list. In Alvarez's absence, Luis Torrens is starting behind the plate despite his batting struggles. The Syracuse Mets secured a walk-off victory against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, winning 3-2.
