Mets Activate Catcher The Mets activated Francisco Alvarez from the injured list ahead of Tuesday’s showdown with St. Louis, restoring a left‑handed bat that posted a .260 average before his thumb injury. Manager Buck Showalter expects Alvarez to slot into the middle of the lineup, providing depth behind Jacob de Grom’s rotation.

Royals Reinforce Infield Kansas City reinstated Bobby Witt Jr., Salvador Perez and Jac Caglianone for the series opener against Texas, shoring up a lineup that struggled to a .221 team batting average last week. The trio’s return follows a week of roster churn and should boost a offense that has produced just 3.2 runs per game.

Brewers Seek Medical Clarity Milwaukee placed reliever Brian Fitzpatrick on the injured list and will pursue a second medical opinion after a partial UCL sprain was confirmed during a warm‑up pitch. The injury sidelines the right‑hander, who posted a 3.45 ERA in 12 appearances, prompting the Brewers to explore bullpen options before their next road trip.
