Overview

  • Alonso was scratched from Sunday’s series finale in Cincinnati after sustaining a contusion at the base of his right thumb
  • Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Alonso first felt the jammed hand during Saturday’s game and is considered day-to-day following treatment
  • The move halted Alonso’s streak of 353 consecutive regular-season games, the longest in Mets history and second-longest active run in MLB
  • Through 99 games this season Alonso is batting .276 with 21 home runs and 77 RBIs despite a recent 2-for-30 slide over seven contests
  • Mark Vientos will bat fourth and make his first first-base start in Alonso’s place as the club protects its offensive anchor
