The Mets announced a series of roster moves on Tuesday afternoon, including placing catcher Francisco Alvarez on the paternity list.
Catcher Hayden Senger has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to take Alvarez’s spot on the roster.
Additionally, the Mets signed outfielder Travis Jankowski to a minor league deal.
Alvarez, whose placement on the paternity list lasts for a minimum of one day and maximum of three days, has been heating up at the plate, slashing .286/.310/.429 with one home run and three RBI over his last seven games.
Overall, it’s been a tough season for Alvarez, who suffered a broken hamate bone in his left hand at the end of spring training and has hit just two home runs in 29 games while splitting time with Luis Torrens.
Jankowski, 33, joins the Mets organization for the second time. In 2022, Jankowski appeared in 43 games with the Mets, slashing .167/.286/.167, used primarily as a pinch-runner and late-game defensive substitution.
Jankowski has spent time with the Rays and White Sox this season.
