Luis Torrens is considering an equipment change behind the plate following his removal from Sunday’s game after taking a foul tip to the groin area. The Mets catcher was wearing a protective plastic cup, but said he may need something stronger after absorbing so many foul tips over the years.

NEW YORK — Mets catcher Luis Torrens lay face down over home plate after Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker fouled a pitch off his nether region. For what seemed like an eternity, Torrens lay motionless with Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and a trainer kneeling by his side. After a few minutes, Torrens finally rose to his knees, but in agony.
