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.
