Francisco Alvarez, Jeff McNeil will be reevaluated by Mets on Monday
NY Post
Francisco Alvarez and Jeff McNeil both played minor league rehab games Sunday and are due to be at Citi Field on Monday to be reevaluated.
After that, they are likely to continue to get minor league at-bats before returning to the Mets, according to Carlos Mendoza.
Alvarez, sidelined since spring training with a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, is finished with the medically mandated portion of his rehab assignment and went 1-for-5 as the DH on Sunday with Double-A Binghamton.
Mendoza said Alvarez might get some at-bats at Triple-A Syracuse to make sure his timing is right at the plate.
McNeil, out with an oblique injury, played the second of back-to-back games with Binghamton on Sunday and had four hits, including a homer and a double.
The Mets have been without both starters since they went down with injuries during spring training, but they have received stellar performances from Luis Torrens behind the plate and Luisangel Acuña has been good at second base.

PHILADELPHIA — The Mets could be facing another significant roster decision as soon as Monday.
The very early version of Kevin Durant in the NBA was pitched to us as the loyal basketball purist, the ideal small-market personality. He enjoyed playing in Oklahoma City. He might play there forever, right? That was the vibe. In the wake of The Decision, Durant was considered the anti-LeBron James.
PHILADELPHIA — That’s one for each game of the now deceased losing streak.
Why are all the spreadsheet folks, who have lectured all of us for years that teams cannot win the Stanley Cup if they are paying their No. 1 goaltender at least 10 percent of the cap, so silent now after the Panthers have gone back-to-back with Sergei Bobrovsky in the net?
Anthony Volpe struck out to lead off the bottom of the second inning Saturday, extending his hitless streak to 25 at-bats.
Surely it wasn’t selected to make a point or to lament what the NBA has become, but it was, nonetheless, a picture worth a thousand 3-point heaves.
It sounds like Aaron Rodgers has some thoughts on how the Jets went from building a potent 1-2 combination in the backfield to looking punchless on the ground.
