Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Faring well at Triple-A level
Alvarez is slashing .256/.326/.590 with four home runs and a 3:13 BB:K in 11 games for Triple-A Syracuse since he was demoted June 22.
Though Alvarez's poor pitch framing played a factor in his demotion, the Mets sent him down to the minors largely due to the middling production he had provided at the plate after he made his return from the injured list in late April upon completing his recovery from hand surgery. Over his 138 plate appearances with the Mets, Alvarez slashed .236/.319/.333 with a 27.5 percent strikeout rate, prompting New York to turn over primary catching duties to Luis Torrens. The Mets still view the 23-year-old Alvarez as their long-term solution behind the plate, and the improved power output he's shown thus far with Syracuse could put him in the mix for a call-up shortly after the All-Star break.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Demoted to Triple-A
The Mets optioned Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Alvarez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-4 win over Philadelphia, but the Mets will still send him to the minors because he's struggled to a .236/.319/.333 slash line and 27.5 percent strikeout rate through 35 contests this season. The 23-year-old started to revamp his swing mechanics over the winter, but his spring training was interrupted by a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, which sidelined him for the first month of the season. The Mets are likely sending Alvarez down to continue working on his swing, and he should return to the big club once he straightens out his plate approach. Hayden Senger was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move to serve as New York's backup catcher, while Luis Torrens is poised to take over the No. 1 job.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Working through swing changes
Alvarez is slashing only .191/.286/.265 over his last 20 games with one home run and three RBI, but the Mets believe he's close to emerging from his slump, Tim Britton of the Athletic reports.
The 23-year-old catcher began revamping his swing mechanics in the offseason, but a fractured hamate bone this spring derailed Alvarez's progress, and he's struggled to get comfortable at the plate since coming off the IL. "The past week, I feel like he's hitting the ball in the air, hitting the ball hard - something we didn't see early on when he got back from the injury," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday. "I like some of the takes with some of the breaking balls. I know he's working." The team has had internal discussions about optioning Alvarez to Triple-A until he turns things around, but a lack of catching depth in the organization makes that tricky, especially while he's still contributing defensively. Should that prove to be necessary, Luis Torrens would take over as New York's No. 1 catcher until Alvarez regains his confidence as a hitter.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Ends homer drought
Alvarez went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Rockies.
The 23-year-old backstop took advantage of a road trip to Coors Field, slugging a solo shot in the ninth inning off Zach Agnos. The long ball was the second of the season for Alvarez, snapping a 26-game homer drought during which he'd slashed a tepid .236/.327/.270 with just six RBI. He's been showing signs of life at the plate however, batting .303 (10-for-33) over his last nine contests.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Sitting again Sunday
Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Alvarez will remain on the bench for the second game in a row and the third time in four contests while he's struggled to get going at the plate since being activated from the injured list April 25. Through his first 20 games of the season, Alvarez is hitting .232 with a 29.5 percent strikeout rate and has just three extra-base hits (one home run, two doubles) over 78 plate appearances. Until his bat begins to heat up, Alvarez looks like he could be part of a timeshare behind the plate with Luis Torrens.
