Torrens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Now on the bench for the fourth time in five games, Torrens is expected to see light playing time moving forward after top backstop Francisco Alvarez returned from the 10-day injured list last week to make his season debut. Torrens proved to be an adequate replacement for Alvarez behind the dish, as he enters Monday's contest with a .258/.292/.419 slash line over his 65 plate appearances on the season.

Torrens will take a seat for the day game after a night game, paving the way for Hayden Senger to pick up a start behind the dish.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Resting for day game
Rotowire
Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Torrens will cede catching duties to Hayden Senger while the Mets wrap up their series in Minnesota with a day game after a night game. When healthy, Torrens has served as the Mets' No. 1 backstop this season and has produced an .825 OPS over 40 plate appearances, but he'll move into the backup role in the near future with Francisco Alvarez (hand) in the midst of a rehab assignment and closing in on a return from the 10-day injured list.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Three hits in win
Rotowire
Torrens went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Athletics.
Torrens opened up the scoring with an RBI base knock in the sixth and added on more with an RBI-double in the ninth. He's been productive as the Mets' top option behind the dish while Francisco Alvarez (hand) has been sidelined to begin the season, slashing .333/.375/.567 with a home run, five RBI, two runs and a 2:7 BB:K in 32 plate appearances. However, with Alvarez currently in the midst of a rehab assignment and perhaps in line to return from the IL during the upcoming week, Torrens will soon be headed to a reserve role.

Torrens has been held out of the Mets' last four games due to a bruised forearm, but he now appears to be fully healed and ready to return behind the dish. The 28-year-old is off to a strong start this year, going 6-for-20 with a homer and two RBI through eight games.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Held out again Wednesday
Rotowire
Torrens (forearm) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Torrens hasn't started a game since Friday due to a right forearm bruise. An MRI Tuesday came back negative, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, and the Mets have no plans at this point to place him on the 10-day injured list, so Torrens will aim to return to action Friday versus the Athletics following the Mets' team off day Thursday. Hayden Senger will catch and bat ninth Wednesday.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Not yet ready to start
Rotowire
Torrens (forearm) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Hayden Senger will pick up a fourth consecutive start while Torrens gets another day off to recover from a right forearm bruise. Torrens made an appearance off the bench Friday, and the Mets haven't added another healthy catcher to the roster, so for the time being, the 28-year-old doesn't look as though he'll require a stint on the injured list.

Hayden Senger will get another turn behind the dish, but the Mets' willingness to use Torrens off the bench in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays suggests that he'll be ready to return to the starting lineup soon.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Resting Wednesday
Rotowire
Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Torrens will get his first day off of the season after he started behind the plate in each of the Mets' first five games while going 4-for-14 with a home run, two doubles, one walk and two RBI. Hayden Senger will form a battery with starting pitcher Clay Holmes on Wednesday, but Torrens should see the bulk of the starts at catcher until Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to return from the injured list.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Adds to fifth-inning barrage in win
Rotowire
Torrens went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 10-4 win over Miami.
After an umpire review, Torrens recorded his first homer of the season during a seven-run fifth inning for the Mets. The 28-year-old backstop is hitting .364 (4-for-11) with the aforementioned long ball thus far, and he should remain New York's primary catcher until Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to come off the injured list.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Smacks first spring homer
Rotowire
Torrens went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.
The 28-year-old took Sonny Gray deep the other way in the second inning for his first long ball of the spring. Torrens is set to open the season as the Mets' starting catcher with Francisco Alvarez (hand) on the shelf until at least late April, but there's little reason to expect him to make an impact with regular playing time -- his .229/.292/.373 slash line over 130 regular-season plate appearances in 2024 was very similar to his .227/.289/.356 career line.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Chance as primary backstop
Rotowire
Torrens is expected to start the season as the Mets' No. 1 catcher after Francisco Alvarez was diagnosed with a hand fracture Sunday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
Alvarez is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing surgery Monday, creating a hole behind the plate for the Mets. Barring an outside addition, Torrens will be the primary beneficiary of the injury after he posted a .229/.292/.373 slash line over 48 regular-season games in Queens last year. Jakson Reetz and Chris Williams are the top internal options to fill the backup job, but neither player is on the 40-man roster.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Drawing start Sunday
Rotowire
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
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
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.
