Torrens will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Analyse

Torrens will fill in behind the plate while Francisco Alvarez rests for the day game. Since MJ Melendez was demoted to Triple-A Syracuse on June 26, the Mets have been giving Alvarez more days off from catching as the designated hitter, which has allowed Torrens to play more frequently than most No. 2 backstops. Torrens has drawn five starts in the Mets' last nine contests.
