Torrens will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Torrens will fill in behind the plate while Francisco Alvarez rests for the day game. Since MJ Melendez was demoted to Triple-A Syracuse on June 26, the Mets have been giving Alvarez more days off from catching as the designated hitter, which has allowed Torrens to play more frequently than most No. 2 backstops. Torrens has drawn five starts in the Mets' last nine contests.

Torrens is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old has operated as the Mets' primary catcher since Francisco Alvarez (knee) landed on the injured list in mid-May, but the latter was reinstated to the active roster Tuesday. Torrens has a .598 OPS in 120 plate appearances this season and should operate as New York's No. 2 catcher going forward with Alvarez now healthy.

Torrens went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
This was Torrens' second multi-hit effort in a row. The homer was his first long ball of the season, though he's shown a little more promise for power with two doubles among nine hits over his last eight contests. For the season, the catcher is hitting .233 with a .638 OPS, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases through 113 plate appearances. Torrens' time as the Mets' primary catcher will likely end once Francisco Alvarez (knee) is ready to return -- Alvarez's rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse started Tuesday.

Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
With Francisco Alvarez (knee) suffering a right meniscus tear in Tuesday's win and likely to miss at least a month, Torrens is poised to step in as the Mets' new No. 1 backstop. While serving in a part-time capacity through the first seven weeks of the season, Torrens has made a limited impact at the dish, slashing just .208/.255/.292 with zero home runs, zero steals, eight RBI and five runs over 52 plate appearances. Even with his playing time set to increase, Torrens isn't expected to warrant much attention outside of NL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues that start two catchers.

Torrens got his third straight start Wednesday, and his work with the pitching staff could continue to earn him more playing time, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Francisco Alvarez got the start at DH in two of those contests as Mets manager Carlos Mendoza focuses his lineup construction on run prevention to help his struggling club. David Peterson in particular has pitched much better with Torrens behind the plate, so the 30-year-old could end up as the personal catcher for the southpaw. Through 42 plate appearances this season, however, Torrens has zero home runs and a .476 OPS that would be his worst mark since he was a rookie in 2017.
