Luis Torrens Fantasy Stats

The New York Mets placed backup catcher Luis Torrens (forearm) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a bruised right forearm, per MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. While the Mets expect Torrens to return from the IL when first eligible on September 17, they wanted a fully healthy backup catcher available, with starter Francisco Alvarez playing through a sprained right thumb ligament and a broken left pinkie. Hayden Senger was called up from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. Torrens has not been on fantasy radars, as he carries a .225/.287/.348 slash line in 266 plate appearances. Senger hasn't fared much better offensively at Triple-A, so his call-up doesn't carry much fantasy significance.

New York Mets catcher Luis Torrens (hand) is in the lineup on Sunday and hitting eighth against Atlanta Braves right-hander Bryce Elder. Torrens missed the Mets' previous three games while dealing with hand soreness. The 29-year-old has taken over as the Mets' primary catcher with Francisco Alvarez (thumb) on the shelf, but he offers little value from a fantasy standpoint. Torrens has hit a miserable .210/.275/.299 with two homers, 16 RBI, and 10 runs scored in 233 plate appearances.

New York Mets catcher Luis Torrens (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This marks the third game in a row that Torrens has sat out due to hand soreness. The good news is, Torrens is reportedly available off the bench to pinch-hit during this contest. That means, Torrens should be able to return to the lineup within the next few days. In the meantime, Hayden Senger will be behind the plate and bat ninth versus right-hander Cal Quantrill. There should be another update available on Torrens ahead of Sunday's contest.

New York Mets catcher Luis Torrens (forearm) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the division-rival Miami Marlins at Citi Field. Hayden Senger will do the catching again for right-hander Clay Holmes and will bat ninth against Marlins right-hander Connor Gillispie. This will be Senger's fourth straight start behind the dish for the Mets after Torrens suffered a bruised right forearm last week. In his first seven MLB games, Senger has gone 2-for-11 with a double, a walk and three strikeouts, so he won't be a recommended DFS sleeper at the catcher position on Tuesday. As of now, it doesn't look like the 28-year-old Torrens is headed to the injured list, but that could change if he's unable to get back in there by the weekend. When healthy, Torrens has served as the Mets' starting catcher with Francisco Alvarez (hand) on the shelf.

New York Mets catcher Luis Torrens (forearm) will remain out of the starting nine on Sunday when the Mets conclude a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Torrens was a late scratch on Saturday evening and will remain sidelined for the series finale. The Mets will instead give catching duties to Hayden Senger for the second-straight contest. Fantasy managers should monitor Torrens' status leading up to their next game against the Marlins on Monday evening. With Francisco Alvarez (hand) on the injured list, Torrens has opened the campaign as the primary backstop in Queens. Through his first eight games of the season, Torrens has held a .300/.333/.550 slash line with one home run and two doubles. Senger is not worth targeting in DFS this afternoon, facing Bowden Francis.

New York Mets catcher Luis Torrens (forearm) was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays at Citi Field, and the team is saying he's dealing with a bruised right forearm. Hayden Senger got the start behind the dish with Torrens injured and went 0-for-2 at the plate with a strikeout. However, the 28-year-old Torrens entered the game late as a pinch-hitter and picked up a base hit, so his injury must not be all that serious. It's good news, but it still wouldn't be a surprise to see the Mets hold Torrens out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Toronto. Based on the fact that the Venezuelan was able to pinch-hit, he should be ready to go for the start of next series on Monday at home against the division-rival Miami Marlins. Torrens came into Saturday's game with five hits in his first 19 at-bats of the year with a homer and two RBI as the primary catcher with Francisco Alvarez (hand) on the injured list.

The New York Mets reinstated catcher Luis Torrens from the paternity list on Monday and designated catcher Joe Hudson for assignment in a corresponding move. Torrens was away from the team during last weekend's series against the Chicago Cubs while tending to a personal matter. The 28-year-old backstop is now back with the Mets and will resume his duties as the primary backup to starter Francisco Alvarez. Unless Alvarez misses more time with an injury, Torrens can be ignored in fantasy, even in two-catcher leagues. He has appeared in just nine games with the Mets in 2024 and has gone 8-for-24 (.333) with three home runs, a double, five RBI and six runs scored. Torrens has a .230/.292/.366 career slash line with 22 homers and 84 RBI in 278 games played in the big leagues since debuting in 2017.

The New York Mets placed catcher Luis Torrens on the paternity list on Friday and recalled catcher Joe Hudson from the minors in a corresponding move. Torrens will now be away from the team for the next one to three days, so Hudson will serve as the team's backup behind Francisco Alvarez over the weekend. The 28-year-old Venezuelan took over the backup duties from Tomas Nido this year and has only played in nine games in the Big Apple this year, going 8-for-24 (.333) with three home runs and five RBI in 26 plate appearances. He'll only become relevant in two-catcher leagues if Alvarez misses more time with an injury. In his seven years in the big leagues, Torrens has slashed .230/.292/.366 with 22 homers and 84 RBI.

New York Mets catcher Luis Torrens smashed two home runs in Wednesday's win over the division-rival Washington Nationals, launching his first homers of the year in the victory. Torrens provided a spark on Wednesday, first putting the Mets on the board with a solo shot in the third inning and later taking Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin deep again for his second long ball of the game in the sixth frame. The 28-year-old journeyman backstop is serving as catching depth alongside veteran Tomas Nido for New York at the moment, but it's hard to envision Torrens maintaining consistent playing time once starter Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is reinstated from the injured list, which could happen as early as Tuesday.

The New York Mets acquired catcher Luis Torrens from the New York Yankees on Friday in exchange for cash considerations and designated catcher Omar Narvaez in a corresponding move, according to sources. Narvaez was hitting just .154 this year with five RBI in 28 games, while Torrens has spent the 2024 campaign so far with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, hitting .279/.339/.469 with an .807 OPS, five home runs and 19 RBI in 30 games played. The Mets are just trying to get by right now at the catcher position with Francisco Alvarez (thumb) still on the injured list. The 28-year-old Torrens will now serve as the direct backup to Tomas Nido with Narvaez out of the picture. Torrens can be ignored in fantasy leagues with a .227 career batting average and 19 home runs in six big-league seasons with three different teams.
