## Resource

Francisco Álvarez is back on track faster than anyone expected, set to start a rehab assignment this Tuesday after tearing his meniscus in May—just weeks after surgery. Already seen swinging bats and catching, his rapid recovery is a major boost for the Mets, who’ve been on a four-game win streak and need his power (4 homers, 10 RBIs in 37 games) as they push for the playoffs. With injuries plaguing him before—broken hamate, thumb surgery—this comeback is a huge relief for the team and fans alike. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
