The rushed start of the season that the New York Mets have had seems to have no limit, or at least that has revealed the injury of the Venezuelan receiver Omar Narváez who will be out for at least eight weeks, a sensitive drop that joins Justin Verlander’s and leaves the team with a hole in the lineup.
After having left the game on Wednesday due to discomfort, Narváez underwent an MRI which revealed that he suffered a severe strain in his left calf so it would be out of action for at least two months.
In this absence, Thomas Nido remains the only receiver on the team, which would mean that the organization’s number one prospect, also Venezuelan Francisco Álvarezwill be the one who takes said position in the roster and acts as back up in the receiver.
In fact, Álvarez, who already had experience in the Major Leagues at the end of last season and who currently plays at Triple-A Syracuse, He is already in New York, which indicates that it is a matter of hours before he is included in the roster of the big team.
Omar Narváez, who came to the Mets this year with a one-year, $8 million contract plus an option for 2024, se earned the starting catching job, playing five of the six games so far this year, posting a .289 average with two RBIsone run, two walks and a .639 OPS.
For its part, the whole of the Big Apple, has not had the desired start, setting a negative record of 3-4. To this are added the weak starts by Puerto Rican Francisco Lindor and his pitching ace, Max Scherzer, who was precisely defeated yesterday against the Milwaukee Brewers.
