The cornerstone of the Mets avoided the worst-case scenario and should only be out on a day-to-day basis.
by a 93 mph fastball from James Paxton on Wednesday afternoon; he would not return to the field and was immediately sent for imaging.
Fortunately, the Mets may have gotten the best-case scenario. According to Andy Martino of SNY, CT scans on Alonso's hand came back negative; there was a bone bruise, but no breaks or fractures. He is expected to be out on a day-to-day basis.May 30, 2024 Another encouraging sign from Alonso was reported by Tim Healey of Newsday. Although the slugger is not in Thursday's lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he did participate in defensive drills with the rest of his fellow infielders this afternoon at Citi Field, indicating that either his condition has improved or that he's still capable of playing through the injury.
With a 7-19 record this month and a six-game deficit for the third Wild Card spot, the Mets will look to get back in the playoff hunt without their cornerstone. However, it should only be for a brief period of time, as the lack of a fracture in the right hand and Alonso's participation in on-field activities indicates that he will be penciled back into the lineup fairly soon.Joe Najarian is a Rutgers University graduate from the Class of 2022.
