Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics. Alvarez started the previous six games and went 6-for-19 (.316 average) with three walk and a homer during that span, and he'll get a well-deserved day off for the series finale versus the A's. Luis Torrens will step in behind the plate to do the catching for righty Freddy Peralta.

Francisco Alvarez: Breaking News
Idle Saturday
Alvarez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants. Alvarez will get a breather after slugging a pair of solo homers during Friday's win. Luis Torrens will replace him behind the plate and bat ninth.
Pops pair of homers
Alvarez went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Friday's 10-3 win over the Giants. Alvarez went yard for the first time since Opening Day with his fourth-inning blast. He added a second homer in the seventh. The catcher is up to three long balls, three RBI, five runs scored and a double while batting. 286 over eight contests. Alvarez will likely have a majority of the starts behind the dish over Luis Torrens. After back-to-back regular seasons with 11 homers, Alvarez is looking to tap back into the rookie-year power that saw him swat 25 homers in 123 games in 2023, without sacrificing his gains in making better contact.
