Approaching rehab assignment
Alvarez (thumb) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Wednesday or Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
At the time Alvarez was placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 19 due to a UCL sprain in his right thumb, he appeared to be at risk of missing the rest of the regular season, but the 23-year-old has seemingly been able to manage the discomfort in his hand better than anticipated just over a week after sustaining the injury. He's been able to take batting practice over the last few days and doesn't appear to have suffered any setbacks in his hitting progression, putting him on track to report to an affiliate around the middle of the week. Alvarez could remain on assignment through the weekend but may be ready for activation when the Mets' active roster expands to 28 men Sept. 1. He's still expected to require surgery at some point during the offseason to address the thumb injury, but with a projected recovery timeline of eight weeks, Alvarez should be back to full health ahead of spring training.

Will eventually need surgery
Manager Carlos Mendoza said Alvarez (thumb), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, will need to undergo surgery at some point, but the catcher will be re-evaluated in 10-to-14 days to determine if he can play through the injury for the rest of the season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Alvarez was diagnosed with a right thumb sprain after suffering the injury on a head-first slide into second base Sunday, and it's possible the injury ends his 2025 campaign. However, he's going to attempt to put off surgery until the offseason and play through the sprained thumb. The Mets should have a better idea whether Alvarez will return this season once he's re-evaluated.

Out at least 10 days
The Mets placed Alvarez on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right thumb Tuesday, and he'll be re-evaluated in 10-to-14 days.
Analysis
The 23-year-old suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Mariners, when he jammed his thumb on a head-first slide into second base. Alvarez appears to be a good bet to return before the end of the season, but when exactly he's ready to go will depend how well he recovers over the next couple of weeks.

Heading to IL with thumb injury
The Mets will place Alvarez on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right thumb injury, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Analysis
Alvarez injured the thumb during Sunday's win over the Mariners and had been set to undergo an MRI. It's not clear what exactly the MRI revealed, but Andy Martino of SNY.tv relays that the Mets have some concern the injury could be a season-ending concern. Luis Torrens will serve as the Mets' primary catcher while Alvarez is shelved.
