Francisco Alvarez is set to undergo surgery to repair the UCL in his right thumb, an injury that has affected him for the last six weeks of the season. While recovery is expected to take six to seven weeks, he aims to return to regular activities before the new year and build on a strong second half of the season, where he posted a .276/.360/.561 slash line after a rocky start, positioning him as a key player for the Mets in 2026.
