The Mets activated Torrens (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Torrens needed only a minimum stay on the IL with a right forearm contusion. Francisco Alvarez (triceps) is back in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres after exiting Tuesday's 8-3 win, so Torrens will serve as the team's backup catcher.

McCann will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

McCann will crack the lineup for the third time in four games after going 3-for-8 with two home runs and six RBI in his previous two starts. So long as he's swinging a hot bat, McCann will likely be able to play fairly regularly at catcher, clearing the way for Gabriel Moreno to see more time at designated hitter.

Pages is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Reds.

Pages had a pair of hits in Tuesday's win over the Reds but will grab a seat for Wednesday's series finale. Jimmy Crooks will start at catcher and bat seventh in the rubber match.

Stephenson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in St. Louis.

Stephenson started at catcher in the first two games of the series, so he'll get a breather for Wednesday's matinee. Jose Trevino will fill in behind the dish and bat eighth for the Reds.

Davis is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Cubs.

Davis started behind the plate in Tuesday's 4-1 loss, but Wednesday will mark the third time he's been out of the lineup over the last four contests. Prior to that, he had started four times over a five-game stretch. Joey Bart will step in behind the dish and bat fifth Wednesday.

Flores will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game versus the Cubs.

Flores was summoned from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday and will make his major-league debut Wednesday. The Pirates started Henry Davis at catcher Tuesday and are going with Joey Bart behind the plate Wednesday, so the team may not intend to give Flores extended run behind the plate down the stretch. He will, however, get his feet wet at first base, filling in for a resting Spencer Horwitz.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Kelly will head to the bench for the day game after he started behind the plate Monday and Tuesday while going 3-for-9 with a double. Reese McGuire will handle catching duties for the Cubs in the series finale.

Torrens (forearm) went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his first rehab game with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Torrens also played seven innings at catcher in his first game action since he landed on the 10-day injured list in early September with a right forearm contusion. He could be activated when first eligible Wednesday, especially with Francisco Alvarez (triceps) now banged up.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said the hit-by-pitch that forced Alvarez from Tuesday's game versus the Padres struck the catcher on the left triceps, and while Alvarez is sore, no X-rays are planned, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

It appeared at first glance that Alvarez was hit on the elbow by a 100-mph sinker from Bradgley Rodriguez, but Mendoza clarified that it was Alvarez's triceps. Alvarez has missed time this season on multiple occasions due to hit-by-pitches, but it seems he'll avoid an extended absence this time. Consider the Mets catcher day-to-day.

Realmuto was unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers due to illness, Lochlahn March of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

It helps explain why Realmuto didn't pinch hit for Rafael Marchan when the game was tied 6-6 in the top of the ninth inning (Marchan launched a go-ahead, three-run homer, as it turned out). Consider Realmuto day-to-day, but with the National League East clinched and an off day looming Thursday, the Phillies might choose to hold their top catcher out until Friday's series opener in Arizona.
