Carlos Mendoza faced an unexpected challenge when his starting catcher, Luis Torrens, suffered a wrist contusion before the game against the Blue Jays. Torrens, initially a late scratch, stepped in to help the Mets secure a 3-2 victory with a crucial ninth-inning single. This victory relied heavily on Torrens’ ability to push through pain and deliver when needed, especially in light of Francisco Alvarez's ongoing injury issues. Mendoza now has vital reassurance regarding the catching position until Alvarez's return.
"Adrenaline sometimes does what it needs to do, and in a situation like [Saturday], where I wasn't necessarily 100 percent... I was able to kinda overcome a little bit of the pain I had."
"If you need me, I'll be ready to go," Torrens told Mendoza, demonstrating his commitment to the team despite his injury.
