Luis Torrens DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.
