Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Sitting for Game 1

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Analysis:

Alvarez was never likely to be behind the plate for both game of Sunday's twin bill, and he'll sit for the matinee after a run of four straight starts. Luis Torrens is doing the catching for Nolan McLean in Game 1.
