After a right forearm contusion sidelined Luis Torrens, an MRI revealed no serious damage, allowing him to begin baseball activities again. Torrens, who suffered the injury during a foul tip in the Mets' home opener, has missed five consecutive games. Meanwhile, rookie Hayden Senger continues to step up, impressing with his defensive skills and contributing offensively with a multi-hit game. With primary catcher Francisco Alvarez recovering from surgery, the Mets are optimistic about Torrens' availability soon.

Paul Blackburn, another injured player, is making progress as he prepares for a return from knee inflammation. He plans to ramp up his pitches in anticipation of a rehab stint. The Mets are focused on their depth as they navigate these challenges. Additionally, the team honored St. John's basketball for their recent successes, showcasing a community spirit amidst the ongoing MLB season.
