Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Back in lineup
Rotowire
Alvarez (back) is starting at catcher and batting eighth for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Alvarez left Friday's game against Milwaukee due to back spasms. That kept him out of Saturday's lineup, though he did manage to pinch hit for Luis Torrens in the top of the eighth inning. Since Sept. 1, Alvarez has slashed .231/.355/.538 with five home runs and 14 RBI over 62 plate appearances.

Mets' Jose Quintana: No help in 10th loss
Rotowire
Quintana (10-10) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Saturday.
Quintana was pushed back in the rotation after a pair of rainouts in Atlanta due to Hurricane Helene. This was his first start since Sept. 18, and while he put in a decent performance, the Mets' offense mustered just two hits and a walk in support. Quintana has been dominant lately, allowing just four runs (three earned) across 36.1 innings over his last six starts of the regular season. His nine strikeouts Saturday were a season high. He ends the regular season with a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 135:63 K:B over 170.1 innings spanning 31 starts. Should the Mets secure a playoff spot, Quintana may be included in the rotation during the wild-card round.

Mets' Sean Manaea: Shelled in Milwaukee
Rotowire
Manaea (12-6) took the loss Friday against the Brewers, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out just one.
The 32-year-old's run of brilliance came to an end, as he had pitched to a 2.91 ERA over 65 innings across his previous 10 starts. This marks the first time Manaea has allowed five or more earned runs since his first start of the second half against Miami on July 19. Things unraveled quickly for the Mets southpaw, as Rhys Hoskins launched a grand slam to left field in the opening frame. Manaea concludes a solid regular season, pitching to a 3.47 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 184:63 K:BB across 181.2 innings. He likely will enter free agency this offseason as the two-year deal he signed with the Mets this past January includes an opt-out clause.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Exits early Friday
Rotowire
Alvarez was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers with back spasms, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Alvarez was grabbing at his back immediately after sliding into third base during the seventh inning and stayed on the ground for some time before being helped into the dugout by the Mets' trainers. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but Luis Torrens would be the next man up behind the dish if Alvarez needs to miss some time.

Lindor had been slated to return to action Wednesday in Atlanta before that game got rained out. Instead, his eight-game absence will end Friday as the Mets open a series against the Brewers.
