He batted .181\/.221\/.194 with four home runs in 78 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This roster move is good news for Mets fans, as it means that the club is not worried about Francisco Alvarez, who was pulled from Thursday night\u2019s game with back tightness. Alvarez is in the lineup today for the Mets\u2019 home game against the Astros at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This spring, the Mets had a number of catchers in camp alongside Senger, Alvarez, and Luis Torrens, including veterans Austin Barnes and Ben Rortvedt, as well as prospects Kevin Parada, Jose Aular, and Chris Suero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Mets continue the winnowing of their major league camp, optioning catcher Hayden Senger to Triple-A Syracuse.
