Francisco Alvarez absent Tuesday for Mets

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Reynaldo Lopez and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Alvarez will take a seat after going 0-for-5 with 2 strikeouts in Monday's series opener. Omar Narvaez will catch for Adrian Houser and hit ninth on Tuesday. Pete Alonso will move down a spot and hit cleanup for the first time this season. Starling Marte will bat second and Francisco Lindor will hit third.

numberFire's models project Narvaez for 7.0 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Alonso is projected for 12.0 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets' implied total (4.18) is No. 15 in the majors today.
