Mets manager Buck Showalter told Healey and the media, “We tried to do some things while Tomas is out. Trying to make the club as good as it can be each day.

Tomas Nido told Healey about Alvarez, “I’m so happy for him. Huge fan of him, I’ve always been. I’ve always told him he belongs here. We knew he could do it. It just takes time to get used to it. He’s really putting it together right now.” Some baseball analysts wondered if the Mets would send Alvarez down to Triple-A Syracuse. That was doubtful. What's next for Sanchez?
