Mets First Baseman Pete Alonso Placed on Injured List After Being Hit by Pitch

Pete Alonso, the slugging first baseman for the New York Mets, was placed on the 10-day injured list with a bone bruise and sprain of his left wrist after being hit by a pitch.
Alonso will undergo further testing but is expected to miss 3-4 weeks, a damaging blow for the Mets.
Alonso leads Major League Baseball with 22 home runs and the National League with 49 RBIs this season.
The injury occurred when Atlanta Braves pitcher Charlie Morton hit Alonso with a 97 mph fastball in the first inning of Wednesday's game.
Mets infielder Luis Guillorme was called up to replace Alonso on the roster during his absence.
