MLB:
If Alvarez misses time, who becomes the primary catcher and what is the fantasy impact on Mets’ lineup from a catcher-by-committee approach?
Qwiket AI:
If Alvarez sits, Tomas Nido or Jose Lobaton-type players would step in, likely rotating with minor extent. This shifts Alvarez’s protective lineup weight to the others, potentially reducing overall offensive ceiling but preserving some run production. Expect a slight dip in overall Mets’ runs from the catcher position until Alvarez returns.
