Francisco Alvarez Activated Off Mets' Injured List

[Steve Drumwright]

 

In a much quicker timeline than anticipated, Francisco Alvarez is back.

The New York Mets on Tuesday activated the catcher from the 10-day injured list. He tore his right meniscus May 12. Just less than a month later, he has returned to the active roster. Catcher Hayden Senger was sent back to Triple-A Syracuse.

Alvarez, who was expected to be out until the end of the month, had a brief rehab assignment, catching four games last week at Syracuse to make sure his knee was good to go. Before hitting the IL, Alvarez was slashing .241/.317/.393 with four homers and 10 RBIs.

Senger saw action in seven games, going 2-for-15 (.133) with a homer and two RBIs.
