Mets' Francisco Alvarez homers in rehab game with Double-A Binghamton

Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez played his first rehab game with Binghamton, the team's Double-A affiliate, on Tuesday night and showed off the power.

Alvarez grounded out in his first at-bat but launched a home run in his second plate appearance. The backstop singled in his third at-bat and then had a scary moment in his fourth. In the sixth, Alvarez was hit in the same hand he fractured by the first pitch thrown by Eiberson Castellano. The Binghamton training staff took a look at Alvarez and the backstop was seemingly ok, running the bases and catching the next inning.

Overall, Alvarez went 2-for-3 and caught six innings.

Jeff McNeil continued his rehab down in Single-A St. Lucie and reached base three times. He singled and walked twice in his five at-bats.

Mendoza said McNeil will continue to play down in St. Lucie before eventually going to Triple-A to get more at-bats. It's possible McNeil will stop off at Binghamton but the utility infielder/outfielder should be back soon.
