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.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Goes on IL with bruised forearm
Rotowire
The Mets placed Torrens on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a right forearm contusion.
According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, Torrens said he suffered the injury while blocking a ball behind the plate in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Reds, and while he has avoided a fracture, he's sore enough that the Mets decide to make a roster move. Hayden Senger was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to replace Torrens as the Mets' backup catcher.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Perfect day at plate Monday
Rotowire
Torrens went 3-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's win over the Tigers.
It's the second three-hit performance for Torrens in his last five starts as he takes advantage of the latest IL stint for Francisco Alvarez (thumb/finger). Over nine games since Alvarez went down in mid-August, Torrens is batting .310 (9-for-26) with three doubles, two homers, six runs and 10 RBI. Alvarez is pushing to return quickly but isn't going to be 100 percent healthy until the offseason, so Torrens figures to retain a significant workload behind the plate through September.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Ties career high with five RBI
Rotowire
Torrens went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Monday's 13-3 win over the Phillies.
The veteran catcher put together one of the best games of his career, tying his career high with five RBI. Torrens lined an RBI double in the sixth, then launched a three-run homer off Jordan Romano in the seventh to blow the game open before adding a run-scoring single in the eighth. Remarkably, the five RBI matched his total from his previous 53 games this season combined, a stretch in which he batted just .194.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Getting second straight start
Rotowire
Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Phillies.
A sore left hand kept Torrens out of action for three straight games before he re-entered the lineup Sunday in the Mets' 4-3 loss to Atlanta. Torrens' hand checked out fine after going 1-for-3 with a base hit while playing eight innings behind the dish, so he'll stick in the starting nine for the second straight day as the Mets open a three-game set with the Phillies. Torrens is likely to see the bulk of the starts at catcher until top backstop Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is ready to return from the injured list.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Cleared to start Sunday
Rotowire
Torrens (hand) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game at Atlanta.
Torrens was held out of action for the past three games while managing a sore left hand, but he's made enough progress in his recovery to re-enter the starting nine for the series finale in Atlanta. With Francisco Alvarez (thumb) on the shelf, Torrens should be in line to see the bulk of the starts behind the dish for the Mets now that he's moved past the hand issue.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Still idle
Rotowire
Torrens is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Torrens will yield to Hayden Senger behind the plate for a third straight game. It's a rather surprising development, considering Torrens was the favorite to take over the starting catcher role while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is sidelined. Torrens started the first two games sans Alvarez and is slashing .210/.275/.299 in 233 plate appearances this season.

Rotowire
Torrens has been dealing with soreness in his catching hand but is available off the bench Saturday against Atlanta, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Rotowire
Torrens is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Takes back over as top backstop
Rotowire
Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Torrens will stay in the lineup for a second straight game and is poised to serve as the Mets' primary backstop after Francisco Alvarez was diagnosed earlier this week with a UCL sprain in his right thumb, which could threaten his availability for the rest of the season. Though Torrens should provide an upgrade defensively behind the plate, he'll likely struggle to match the production Alvarez provided as a hitter. Over 229 plate appearances on the season, Torrens has contributed a .214/.279/.305 slash line with two home runs, 16 RBI and 10 runs across 77 games.
Mets' Luis Torrens: Hitting bench in Alvarez's return
Rotowire
Torrens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.
After starting behind the plate in each of the Mets' first three games out of the All-Star break, Torrens will get a breather as New York opens a three-game set with the Angels. After a productive month-long stint at Triple-A Syracuse, Francisco Alvarez was recalled Monday and will spell Torrens at catcher. With Torrens producing a .505 OPS since the beginning of July, he could be at risk of losing his grip as the Mets' preferred option at catcher if Alvarez can continue his hot-hitting ways in his return to the big club.
