Mets’ top catching prospect Francisco Alvarez will be joining the team in New York for their opening homestand.
Narvaez was replaced behind the plate by Tomas Nido in the bottom of the ninth inning after he tweaked his calf, according to Buck Showalter.
Narvaez, who went 1-for-4 in the loss and is hitting .286 in the early going, indicated he is unsure if he will receive imaging on the calf. Alvarez, who hit just .107 without a homer in spring training during Graprefruit League play, took his demotion in stride when told about it before the start of the regular season.
Alvarez’s quiet bat this spring hardly stated his case: He went 3-for-28 in the Grapefruit League without a homer.
