New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) is taking ground balls at first base on Tuesday. Alonso is on the injured list with a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist, but he's already doing baseball activities. He is expected to miss three to four weeks, but fantasy managers have to be happy with the fact that he looks like he's already on track for a quick recovery. The 28-year-old All-Star has been one of the few bright spots for the disappointing Mets in 2023 and still leads the league with 22 home runs and 49 RBI in 62 games despite hitting only .231 (53-for-229). Keep Alonso stashed in all fantasy formats. Mark Canha and Mark Vientos should continue to keep splitting playing time at the cold corner in New York until Alonso returns from his injury.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) was diagnosed with a bone bruise and a sprain of his left wrist, and he was officially placed on the injured list on Friday. A typical return to play for this type of injury is roughly three to four weeks, so fantasy managers will need to make due without the elite power hitter for a little bit. Alonso suffered the injury on Wednesday when he was hit by a pitch against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old right-handed slugger had been one of the team's few bright spots in a disappointing season to this point. He's currently batting .231 (53-for-229) with four doubles and a triple while leading the league in homers (22) and RBI (49) in 62 games. Mark Vientos started at first base on Thursday, but Mark Canha will man the cold corner on Friday for the Mets.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) will likely hit the injured list, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, and could miss a few weeks of action. The slugger was out of the lineup for Thursday's loss to the Atlanta Braves after he exited Wednesday's contest following a hit by a pitch to the wrist. This is a tough blow for fantasy managers, as Alonso is one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball and is slashing .231/.326/.546 with a league-leading 22 bombs, 41 runs, 49 RBI, and a pair of steals across 62 games. Mark Vientos could see more time at first in the 28-year-old's absence. The second-year player is only batting .162 over 13 games, but he posted a .333 average and 1.104 OPS with 13 homers through 38 games at Triple-A, making a decent buy-low bat.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) returned home for further testing on Thursday. After taking a pitch to the left wrist, the slugger exited Wednesday's game versus the Braves. He had a CT scan in Atlanta on Thursday morning. However, skipper Buck Showalter said Alonso returned to New York to "have our people look at it." At any rate, Showalter's comment doesn't sit well with fantasy managers, who were originally expecting Alonso to miss a few games. But now it appears things could be much worse, which isn't ideal, considering the 28-year-old has 22 home runs and 49 RBI in 2023.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) is not in the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. Alonso was forced from Wednesday's contest early after being hit in the wrist by a fastball in the first inning, but thankfully, X-rays came back negative and he's day-to-day with a contusion. The 28-year-old right-handed slugger dodged a bullet and could be back in the lineup as early as Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In his absence Thursday, Mark Vientos is getting the start at the cold corner and is hitting ninth in the batting order against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider. Alonso is a must-start in fantasy lineups when he's active, as he currently leads baseball with 22 home runs and 49 RBI in 261 trips to the plate over 62 games played.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) was forced to leave Wednesday's game early against the Atlanta Braves after getting hit by a 97 mph fastball on the left wrist. Thankfully for the Mets and fantasy managers, Alonso's X-rays came back negative, and he's being considered day-to-day with a left-wrist contusion. Fantasy managers can let out a sigh of relief after the injury scare, but don't be surprised if the Polar Bear isn't in the lineup for the series finale against Atlanta on Thursday. Alonso didn't have an official at-bat in the game. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star entered the day with a .231 average (53-for-229) with four doubles, a triple, a league-high 22 home runs and a league-high 49 RBI in 61 games played. Alonso is a must-start anytime he's active.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 2-for-2 with a home run, two RBI, two walks, and a stolen base in a resounding 10-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. The Mets pounded the Cubs in this one and Alonso stayed hot. He reached base in all four of his plate appearances and even swiped his first bag of the year. He also bopped his league-leading 19th home run of the season in the seventh inning off of Michael Rucker. Alonso has now homered six times in the last nine contests and has his season batting line up to .239/.341/.559 to go along with 19 home runs and 45 RBI across 188 at-bats.

The 28-year-old has not hit for average but has hit for plenty of power, slashing .233/.333/.516 with 33 RBI. Fantasy managers have come to expect a better batting average from Alonso based on his performance in the last two seasons, but there is really not much they can complain about given his elite power.

New York Mets first baseman/designated hitter Pete Alonso went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Alonso drove in one of the Mets' two runs in the bottom of the first with an RBI groundout. New York didn't have much of an answer for Austin Gomber, as shocking as that sounds. Through his first 129 at-bats of the year, Alonso is slashing .240/.315/.519 to go along with 11 long balls and 29 RBI. While the batting average (career .260) and OBP ( career .347) are below what we've come to expect from the 28-year-old, the power has been there through the first month or so of the season.

New York Mets' first baseman Pete Alonso continues to thrive at the plate, as he drove in four runs in the Mets' 9-4 win over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. Alonso cranked his ninth homer of the year and currently leads the majors. The Polar Bear is fourth in the majors in RBI (19) and owns a 1.024 OPS. Over the past 15 games, the first baseman is slashing .322/.394/.729 with eight home runs and 17 RBI. It will be quite difficult to shatter his 53-homer rookie season in 2019, but Alonso is certainly on track, considering that he's paced for 72 home runs. With the Mets beginning to pick things up, it's quite imperative that Alonso's bat stays hot. On the year, the 28-year-old is hitting .286/.375/.649 with a .433 wOBA and 175 wRC+.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso had another productive outing in Saturday's 3-2 win over the A's. The slugger went 1-for-4 with an RBI, which was made up of a 421-foot shot to left in the fourth inning. He now has eight dingers in 2023, tying him with Rafael Devers for the most in MLB. The 28-year-old will look to add to his collection on Sunday against JP Sears, with Alonso going 1-for-2 lifetime versus the lefty.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has returned from playing in the World Baseball Classic with Team USA and is back in the Grapefruit League lineup on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves and left-hander Jared Shuster. Alonso is at first base and is hitting cleanup in the batting order. The 28-year-old slugger was rather quiet in the WBC, but he'll return to a .286 average (6-for-21) with three home runs, four RBI and five runs scored in eight games in Grapefruit League play. Alonso remains an elite power option in fantasy leagues, and he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 3 fantasy first baseman, behind only Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Freddie Freeman.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso goes into Wednesday night 0-for-5 in the World Baseball Classic for Team USA. Alonso has started one game as the designated hitter for the US, going 0-for-4 against Mexico. He had a pinch-hit appearance against Canada on Monday and came up without a hit again. The Polar Bear will get the start Wednesday vs. Colombia and will hit fifth in the lineup. Alonso is coming off a season where he hit 40 homers and drove in a league-leading 130 runs while batting .271, so nothing should be taken from this small sample size. Alonso is currently going 18.3 in drafts and should be one of the earliest first basemen off the board in drafts.

The New York Mets and first baseman Pete Alonso agreed to a one-year, $14.5 million deal on Friday to avoid salary arbitration. Alonso made his second All-Star team in 2022 and finished the regular season with 40 long balls, a league-high 131 RBI, 95 runs scored, five stolen bases, a .271/.352/.518 slash line and an .869 OPS in 685 plate appearances and 160 games. The former National League Rookie of the Year in 2019 is one of the best power hitters in baseball and resides in one of the better lineups in baseball, which makes him a top-25 fantasy target, regardless of position, early in drafts. Alonso has mashed 146 home runs and driven in 380 runs in his first four major-league seasons.

Alonso has had an excellent season at the plate, producing an .872 OPS, scoring 91 runs, and adding five swiped bags in 661 plate appearances. He won't approach his 53 homer total that he produced in his rookie 2019, but Alonso has proven that he's one of the most formidable power hitters in the league.

The Polar Bear has brought the power once again this season, slashing .267/.346/.511 with 121 RBI and five stolen bases. He should continue to be one of fantasy baseball's better sources of HR, R, and RBI for the rest of the season.

Since the All-Star break, he's hitting .310 (31-for-100) with six homers, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base in 27 games. Alonso is a big reason why the Mets remain in first place in the National League East division.

Alonso exited Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres after being hit in the right hand with a pitch. This is good initial news for Alonso and fantasy managers, although he will undergo further tests to be sure there are no broken bones in his hand. As such, he is considered day-to-day for the time being. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor news on Alonso, as they will need to figure out how to replace a .282/.363/.546 slash line with 16 home runs and 54 RBI if he ends up needing to miss any significant time.
