Jun 26 2025Alonso went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 4-0 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's bat has been a little quiet lately -- he's 11-for-38 (.289) with just two extra-base hits and two RBI, as well as a 2:16 BB:K over his last 10 games. This was his third multi-hit effort in that span. The first baseman is at a .292/.384/.549 slash line with 18 home runs, 23 doubles, 65 RBI, 46 runs scored and no stolen bases across 82 contests. Alonso has hit for a high average all year without sacrificing too much power, so a little regression was to be expected at some point, but he's managed it gracefully so far.
Jun 8 2025Alonso went 3-for-6 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso launched two-run home runs in the third and eighth innings, marking his second multi-homer game of the week. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, he passed David Wright for second on the Mets' all-time home run list and set the team record for multi-homer efforts with 23. Over his past 15 games, the 30-year-old has hit safely 14 times with five multi-hit performances and 12 extra-base hits. He leads the majors with 61 RBI this season while slashing .301/.396/.594 with 17 long balls and 41 runs scored across 293 plate appearances.
Jun 6 2025Alonso went 1-for-3 with two walks, one run scored and a two-run double in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso put the Mets on the board in the seventh inning with a two-run double to left field and came home to score in the ninth on a Francisco Lindor (toe) double. Alonso has reached base safely in 15 straight games, and over that span he has slashed .310/.388/.690 with nine runs, four doubles, six home runs and 20 RBI across 67 plate appearances.
Jun 5 2025Alonso went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored, two RBI and was hit by a pitch during Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso finished off the Dodgers series red-hot at the plate, going a combined 7-for-13 with a double, three home runs and nine RBI over the final three games of the four-game set. The 30-year-old has been one of baseball's best hitters this season and is up to 55 RBI on the season, tied for the second-most in MLB. He is slashing .298/.394/.579, with his average, OBP and OPS on track to set career highs if those high marks hold throughout the season.
Jun 1 2025Alonso went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso gave the Mets a 3-1 lead with a 407-foot blast in the fourth inning. The first baseman has now hit safely in eight straight games, a stretch that includes five extra-base hits and eight RBI. On the season, he's slashing .288/.384/.543 with 12 homers, 46 RBI and 32 runs scored across 258 plate appearances.
May 25 2025Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 3-1 win versus the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The New York first baseman snapped a 16-game homerless streak with a 406-foot long ball off Los Angeles starter Landon Knack in the opening frame. During that 16-game span, Alonso produced a putrid .175/.217/.222 slash line with three runs scored and five RBI across 69 plate appearances. Through 233 total plate appearances, the 30-year-old is slashing .291/.391/.536 with 10 homers, 30 runs scored and 40 RBI.
May 12 2025Alonso went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 4-3 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso gave the Mets the lead in the seventh inning on an infield RBI single, and he sent the home crowd happy in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly to right field that brought Francisco Lindor home.

May 5 2025Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso has five multi-hit efforts over his last eight games, a span that has seen him rack up three homers, seven RBI and nine runs scored. The first baseman has yet to go more than two games in a row without a hit, which is some impressive consistency, especially since he's never hit higher than .271 over a full season. Alonso is batting .349 with a 1.143 OPS, nine long balls, 33 RBI, 26 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 36 contests. In addition to his efficient contact, he's walking at a career-high rate (15.6 percent) and striking out at a career-low clip (15.0 percent).
Apr 30 2025Alonso went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso reached three times through the first four innings and put the Mets up 8-0 in the fourth with a ball that was launched off the second deck in left field. Alonso worked a walk for a fifth straight game and has walked 20 times in the first 30 games of the season. His 28 RBI are tied for second in all of baseball and he sits alone in second with a 1.126 OPS, only behind Aaron Judge among qualified hitters.
Apr 19 2025Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an RBI double in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso drove in two of the Mets' three runs Saturday, finishing things up with a solo homer off John King in the eighth inning. Alonso has 10 multi-hit games this season, four of which have come over his last six games. His 1.220 OPS ranks first in the National League and second in the majors behind Aaron Judge (1.236), and Alonso is third in the NL in both batting average (.356) and RBI (23).
Apr 15 2025Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso took Twins right-hander Bailey Ober yard to give the Mets a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The star first baseman has thrived in the early going while batting behind Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. Through his first 73 plate appearances of the campaign, Alonso is slashing a robust .356/.466/.729 with five homers, seven doubles, 20 RBI and 11 runs scored.
Apr 12 2025Alonso went 3-for-3 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 7-6 win over the A's. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Polar Bear's eighth-inning solo shot off Jose Leclerc gave the Mets their final run of the night, and crucial insurance given Edwin Diaz stumbled in the ninth trying to protect a three-run lead. Alonso is one of the hottest hitters in the majors right now, and over the last 10 games he's batting .444 (16-for-36) with six doubles, four homers and 18 RBI.
Apr 8 2025Alonso went 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-5 win over Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso registered his first RBI of the game in the third inning, and he proceeded to drive in three more runs on a bases-clearing double in the sixth frame to give the Mets a four-run lead. Alonso has logged two hits in each of his last three games and has recorded at least four RBI in three games this season. Alonso has gone 12-for-30 with four walks, five doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI over his last eight outings.
Apr 4 2025Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso did damage early, lifting a two-run blast off Kevin Gausman in the first inning to provide all the offense the Mets needed in this win. Alonso started the year 1-for-9 with three walks over the first three games, but he's logged six extra-base hits -- including three homers -- and 10 RBI over his last four contests. The first baseman should play pretty close to every day when healthy, as he got into all 162 games in 2024.
Apr 2 2025Alonso went 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After doubling to plate a run in the first inning, Alonso blasted a three-run homer in the eighth inning to tie the game at 4-4. The star slugger is off to a fast start at the plate, slashing .286/.423/.667 with two long balls, two doubles and eight RBI over 21 at-bats. As long as he's hitting directly behind Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, Alonso should see a great deal of RBI opportunities in 2025.
Mar 31 2025Alonso went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 10-4 win over Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso broke this one wide open in the fifth inning, taking Marlins right-hander Cal Quantrill deep to plate four runs and give the Mets a 6-1 lead. Monday marked the first home run and RBI of the young season for the star slugger, who has gone 3-for-14 (.231) with four walks through four games thus far. With Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto batting in front of him, Alonso should see plenty of RBI chances in 2025.
Mar 20 2025Alonso went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He crushed a pitch from Miguel Castro over the left-field fence in the sixth inning. It was Alonso's first long ball this spring, but he also has four doubles among his nine hits while batting .220 (9-for-41) with a 7:8 BB:K. The slugging first baseman appears to be getting his timing down just in time for Opening Day.
Feb 5 2025Alonso agreed to terms on a two-year, $54 million contract with the Mets on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was expected that Alonso would move on from the Mets after he reportedly rejected a three-year deal worth roughly $70 million, but an apparent change of heart will keep the 30-year-old slugger in New York for the immediate future as the team's everyday first baseman. His new deal will pay him $30 million in 2025 and includes an opt-out after the first season, which could allow him to enter free agency once again next winter.
Jan 17 2025The Mets are not expected to re-sign Alonso, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets made what Sherman describes as a "last-ditch effort" to retain Alonso by recently offering him a three-year contract in the $68 to $70 million range, which the first baseman unsurprisingly rejected. It's always possible there's a change of heart, but all signs now point to the Mets moving on from Alonso, who is third on their all-time home run list with 226. Currently, the plan is to shift Mark Vientos to first base and have Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio (knee) and Luisangel Acuna compete for the third base job.
Nov 19 2024Alonso rejected the Mets' one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's rejection of the offer was a formality, as he is in line for a big payday this winter. The Mets are interested in retaining the first baseman, but should he sign elsewhere, the club will receive a draft pick as compensation.
Nov 4 2024The Mets extended Alonso a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: If Alonso departs in free agency, the Mets will receive a draft pick as compensation. Alonso put up a .788 OPS with 34 home runs over 696 regular-season plate appearances with the Mets. The first baseman will turn 30 in December.
Sep 17 2024Alonso went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, five RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-1 victory over Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets first baseman entered this game on a cold spell, hitting just .213 (10-for-47) in 14 September games, and left having doubled his RBI total on the month. Alonso drove in his first pair of runs with single in third inning before adding a three-run homer to his ledger in the eighth. Perhaps this performance will bust the free-agent-to-be out of his September swoon. Alonso is now slashing .244/.330/.472 with 33 homers, 31 doubles, 86 RBI and 87 runs scored across 649 plate appearances this season.
Aug 31 2024Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored Saturday in a 5-3 victory versus the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso gave New York an early lead with his first-inning, two-run shot to left-center field. It was his 30th homer of the campaign, marking the fifth time in six career seasons he's reached that total (the only exception was the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). In August, Alonso posted a .250 batting average with eight homers, 19 RBI and 16 runs over 104 at-bats.
Aug 30 2024Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old slugger took Ryne Nelson deep in the second inning to get the Mets on the board. Alonso has picked up the pace in August, slashing .253/.345/.505 with seven homers and 17 RBI in 26 games, and he sits one long ball short of his fourth straight 30-homer campaign and the fifth of his career.
Aug 28 2024Alonso went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso homered in his first at-bat to lead off the second inning but was unable to do any more damage. His home run put him at 220 for his career and tied him with Mike Piazza for third most in Mets history. Alonso has struck out eight times over his last four games but, he is also managing to get on base, reaching safely in nine of his last 10 games. For the year, he's slashing .245/.330/.470 with 28 homers, 72 RBI, 74 runs, three steals and a 57:134 BB:K in 569 plate appearances.
Aug 14 2024Alonso went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run double in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Alonso's first four-hit game this season. The first baseman has gone 17-for-61 (.279) with six homers and 15 RBI over his last 16 contests, though he also has an unsettling 27 strikeouts in that span. For the season, he's up to a .246/.329/.475 slash line, 26 homers, 68 RBI, 68 runs scored, 27 doubles and three stolen bases over 120 games.
Aug 8 2024Alonso went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored Thursday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso touched up Colorado starter Austin Gomber for both homers, capping a four-run first inning with a two-run blast, then launching a second dinger off the lefty in the third. It was Alonso's second multi-homer game of the season and his fourth game with at least three RBI. The slugging first baseman is now slashing .246/.331/.476 with 51 extra-base hits including 25 homers, 63 RBI, 67 runs and 49 walks across 493 plate appearances.
Aug 2 2024Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and three strikeouts in Friday's 5-1 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso took Tyler Anderson deep in the third inning in what ended up being the deciding runs in Friday's win. Alonso has been hot with three home runs over his last five games and four long balls already since the All-Star break. The 29-year-old is hitting with .242/324/.469 with 23 homers with 62 runs and 59 RBI in 109 games this season.
Jul 29 2024Alonso went 2-for-5 with a homer, a double, three runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 15-2 victory over Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The New York slugger went yard for the second straight day and continued his post-break hot streak, as he entered slashing .278/.395/.556 with six extra-base hits over 43 plate appearances since the All-Star Game. Alonso cracked a 409-foot solo homer off Simeon Woods Richardson to open a six-run fourth inning for the Mets. Overall, the first baseman is now hitting .246 with 22 homers, 61 runs scored and 57 RBI on the season.
Jul 24 2024Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso was one of two Mets to reach the 20-homer threshold this season, as both he and Francisco Lindor hit the mark in this blowout win. Alonso has come out of the gates swinging in the second half, going 7-for-23 (.304) over six games since the All-Star break. The first baseman is at a .244/.324/.458 slash line with 53 RBI, 57 runs scored, two stolen bases and 23 doubles through 101 contests this season.
Jul 15 2024Alonso went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He got the Mets on the board in the fourth inning by crushing a German Marquez two-seamer deep to left field. Alonso snapped an 11-game homer drought with the blast, and he heads into the All-Star break -- and an appearance in the Home Run Derby -- slashing .240/.319/.454 with 19 homers and 51 RBI in 95 contests.
Jul 2 2024Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Nationals in 10 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso capped off the Mets' five-run 10th inning with a two-run blast off Robert Garcia, the first baseman's 18th home run of the campaign. He's riding a six-game hit streak, batting 8-for-24 (.333) with six runs and five RBI during that span. Alonso owns an .811 OPS with a 20.3 percent strikeout rate.
Jun 29 2024Alonso went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and one stolen base in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's steal was just his second of the year, as speed is rarely a factor in his play. He's got plenty of reason to feel optimistic lately though -- the first baseman has gone 15-for-46 (.326) over his last 12 contests while adding 14 RBI in that span. Overall, Alonso is at a .244/.330/.472 slash line with 17 home runs, 46 RBI, 46 runs scored and 19 doubles through 80 games.
Jun 19 2024Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a loss to the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso gave New York a two-run lead with his blast to center field in the sixth inning, but Texas was able to mount a comeback and pull of the victory. The long ball continued a hot stretch for the first baseman, as he's in the midst of a five-game hitting streak during which he's batted .391 (9-for-23) with two homers and 10 RBI. Alonso is up to 16 home runs and 42 RBI on the campaign along with 42 runs and a .243/.321/.475 slash line.
Jun 18 2024Alonso went 3-for-5 with a walk, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman kept the line moving for the Mets in a 14-2 rout. Alonso still isn't supplying his usual power, but he's picked up the pace a bit in June, slashing .259/.348/.483 through 14 games with four doubles, three homers, nine runs and 12 RBI.
Jun 16 2024Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in Sunday's 11-6 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With two men on in the first inning, Alonso took Dylan Cease deep for this 15th homer this season. He later added a two-run single as part of a four-run eighth to give him a season-high five RBI for the game. This one had to feel good for Alonso, as he broke out of a small slump where he had only five hits and one RBI over his last eight games. The 29-year-old's 15 home runs are tied for fifth most in the National League. He'll carry a .232/.310/.461 slash line into their next series vs the Rangers.
Jun 5 2024Alonso went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman took Washington closer Kyle Finnegan deep to left field in the ninth inning to give the Mets an insurance run. Alonso's racked up seven hits, including three doubles and two homers, over the last six games, and since May 7 he's slashing .279/.330/.548 in 26 contests with six of his 14 long balls and 15 of his 31 RBI on the season.
Jun 1 2024Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 10-5 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso doubled in the first then hit a two-run home run in the ninth off Brandon Hughes. While the game was out of reach, the homer was Alonso's 13th of the year and resulted in his third multi-hit effort in his past nine games. On the season, Alonso is now slashing .239/.315/.477 with 13 home runs and 29 RBI.
May 31 2024Alonso (hand) is playing first and batting second during Friday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso was hit by a pitch Wednesday, but after a clean CT scan and a day off Thursday, the first baseman will rejoin the Mets' starting nine. Alonso owns a .771 OPS and has the third most homers among first basemen this season with 12.
May 30 2024Alonso (hand) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso managed to avoid any fractures after exiting Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers following a hit-by-pitch on the right hand. However, he is dealing with a painful bone bruise that will cause him to miss at least one start. Mark Vientos will handle first base Thursday while Brett Baty covers third base.
May 29 2024X-rays on Alonso's right hand came back negative Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets won't be able to confirm whether or not Alonso avoided a fracture until the results of his CT scan come back Thursday, but a clean X-ray is certainly an encouraging sign. The 29-year-old remains day-to-day after getting hit in the hand by a 93-mph fastball during Wednesday's contest.
May 25 2024Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Another bullpen meltdown wasted a big night from the Mets' offense, as Alonso's seven-inning solo shot off Nick Avila was New York's third homer of the game. The first baseman extended his hitting streak to nine games, and over the last 15 contests Alonso is slashing .313/.362/.609 with four of his 12 homers on the season and 10 of his 26 RBI.
May 23 2024Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso opened the scoring in the first inning, sending a fastball from Triston McKenzie into the right-field seats for his 11th homer of the year. The 29-year-old Alonso has put together an eight-game hitting streak while going 18-for-59 (.305) with three homers and a .936 OPS in his last 14 contests. He's now slashing .236/.313/.466 with 24 RBI and 28 runs scored through 214 plate appearances this season.
May 16 2024Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run during Thursday's 6-5 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso tagged Taijuan Walker (foot) for a solo shot in the first inning, putting the first baseman in double figures for homers this season. He's now tied for the fourth most home runs in the NL and owns a .772 OPS with 27 runs through 164 at-bats.
May 8 2024Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso finally showed some signs of life at the plate Tuesday night after breaking out of a slump. Before his two-RBI double in the fifth, Alonso had one hit over his last 41 at-bats. He later followed things up with a huge insurance home run in the eighth to put the Mets up 7-4. Alonso is now slashing just .212/.297/.445 with nine homers, 19 RBI, 22 runs and a 14:32 BB:K in 155 plate appearances, though Tuesday's outburst showed some welcoming signs that his offense could be emerging once again.
May 6 2024Alonso is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll take a seat for the first time all season after recently falling into a 1-for-28 drought at the plate that has brought his slash line down to .206/.295/.420. DJ Stewart will draw the start at first base Monday, but Alonso should be back in the lineup Tuesday.
Apr 29 2024Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: His blast in the fifth inning off Sonny Gray capped the scoring for the Mets in an eventual 7-4 loss. It was Alonso's 200th career homer, putting him in very select company -- only Darryl Strawberry, David Wright and Mike Piazza have also reached that milestone in a Mets uniform. Alonso has played in every game this season for New York, slashing .248/.336/.505 over 27 contests with eight home runs, 14 RBI and 20 runs scored.
Apr 22 2024Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso accounted for the Mets' first run with a fifth-inning solo blast to left field. The long ball snapped a seven-game homerless drought for the slugger, and he had gone just 4-for-26 with one RBI during that stretch. Alonso still leads the team -- and is tied for third in the majors -- with seven homers on the campaign, though he's knocked in just 12 runs.
Apr 13 2024Alonso went 3-for-3 with a walk, two solo home runs and an additional RBI in Saturday's 11-7 loss to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Make it four home runs in the last four games and six in total this season for Alonso, who is chasing his third straight campaign of 40 or more homers. He has raised his OPS from .532 to .963 in his last four games, which illustrates just how quickly the narrative can change this early in the season. The potential for a trade looms, as Alonso is in his final year before free agency, but he will remain locked into the heart of the Mets' order for the foreseeable future.
Apr 9 2024Alonso went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets were shut out for seven innings, but Alonso kicked off a belated comeback attempt by taking Tyler Matzek deep in the eighth. The first baseman is batting only .196 (9-for-46) to begin the season, but three of Alonso's hits have left the yard and he has seven runs and six RBI through 11 games.
Apr 4 2024Alonso went 3-for-9 with a solo home run, three total runs and a walk in Thursday's doubleheader split with Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso struck out five times across 10 plate appearances in the doubleheader, but that didn't prevent him from making an offensive impact. In Game 1, he reached base three times and scored two of New York's three runs, and in the nightcap he slugged a solo homer in the ninth inning to tie the score in what became the Mets' first win of the campaign. Alonso is slashing .292/.346/.542 through 26 plate appearances and has two homers, both of which have been solo shots to account for his two RBI on the season.
Mar 30 2024Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman took Abner Uribe deep in the ninth inning for his first homer of 2024, but the Mets couldn't find a tying run afterward. Alonso has belted at least 40 homers in each of the last two seasons, but last year's .217 batting average and .318 OBP muted the fantasy utility of his power. He'll look to deliver something closer to the .267/.348/.518 slash line he generated in 2021-22, especially with free agency looking next offseason.
Mar 20 2024Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman has had a strong spring at the plate, batting .289 (11-for-38) with seven of his hits (two homers, five doubles) going for extra bases, plus a 7:11 BB:K. Strikeouts will always be part of the package with Alonso, but his .217 batting average in 2023 was the very bottom of his expected range thanks to a .205 BABIP that was 74 points lower than his 2022 mark. Despite his struggles making consistent contact, he still slugged at least 40 homers for the second straight campaign and the third time in his four full MLB seasons. Alonso will again hit in the heart of the Mets' order and should be one of the most reliable power hitters available for fantasy GMs.
Feb 7 2024Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns indicated in an interview with Foul Territory on Wednesday that he does not expect to sign Alonso to a contract extension prior to the first baseman reaching free agency next offseason. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stearns did say that he's hopeful the two sides will eventually be able to work something out, but it doesn't sound like either party anticipates that happening before the end of the season. Alonso, for what it's worth, hired Scott Boras as his agent earlier this offseason. The 29-year-old slugger will make $20.5 million in 2024 before hitting the open market next winter.
Jan 11 2024Alonso signed a one-year, $20.5 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso is in the final year of arbitration eligibility and saw his salary jump six million from 2023. He's proven to be one of the most consistent power producers across five full seasons in the majors, reaching 40 homers in each of the last two campaigns. Assuming he and the Mets don't agree to an extension, Alonso will hit free agency next offseason.
Oct 5 2023Alonso has hired BorasCorp agency to represent him, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso has one year remaining of arbitration eligibility before free agency and has decided to add Scott Boras as his new representation as he seeks a long-term contract. The first baseman's name has popped up in trade rumors this year but, for what it's worth, new Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns has indicated that he has no intention of dealing Alonso this offseason. Whether Stearns and Boras can get on the same page in regard to a contract extension for Alonso is another matter.
Sep 28 2023Alonso went 5-for-8 with two doubles, a home run, four total runs and two RBI in Wednesday's doubleheader split against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman did most of his damage in an 11-2 rout during the matinee, coming a triple short of the cycle and launching his 46th homer of the season in the first inning off Braxton Garrett. Alonso has four games left on the Mets' schedule to reach 50 homers for the second time in his career.
Sep 14 2023Alonso went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in a 7-1 victory versus Arizona on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso kicked off the scoring in the contest with an RBI single in the first inning and added a two-run double in the fifth. The slugger is up to 108 runs batted in on the campaign, second-most in the majors. Alonso has also belted 44 homers -- he and Matt Olson are the only big-leaguers so far this season with at least 40 long balls and 100 RBI.
Sep 13 2023Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman launched a Ryne Nelson fastball into the second deck in right-center field in the fifth inning, giving Alonso his fifth long ball in the last eight games. Matt Olson has run away with the home run and RBI crowns in 2023, but Alonso is second in the majors in both categories, sitting tied with Shohei Ohtani (oblique) at 44 homers while his 105 RBI are currently one ahead of Kyle Tucker and two clear of Mookie Betts.
Sep 6 2023Alonso went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-5 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After driving in the Mets' first run of the night with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, Alonso launched his 42nd homer of the season, and third in the last two games. Alonso sits three long balls behind Atlanta's Matt Olson for the major-league lead, and his 102 RBI on the season also rank second to Olson in MLB.
Sep 4 2023Alonso went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 11 consecutive games without a home run, Alonso delivered two Sunday, one off of George Kirby and the other off Trent Thornton. The first baseman is now up to 41 long balls on the season, good for the third most in baseball. He'll look to carry his hot bat into the Mets two-game series with the Nationals starting on Tuesday.
Aug 27 2023Alonso (head) will start at first base and bat cleanup Sunday versus the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso took a pitch to the head/neck area in Saturday's loss, but he cleared the concussion protocol and was given the green light to rejoin the lineup a day later. The 28-year-old slugger has registered an .846 OPS with 39 home runs and 95 RBI through 122 games this year for New York.
Aug 26 2023Alonso has passed concussion protocol after being hit in the head/neck area by a pitch in Saturday's loss to the Angels, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso was plunked by a wild breaking ball from Halos reliever Jose Soriano in the eighth inning and was removed from the game for a pinch-runner. It sounds like he's going to be fine, though, with Mets manager Buck Showalter saying he doesn't anticipate the slugger needing to undergo any more tests in the morning.
Aug 21 2023Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The slugging first baseman took Dakota Hudson deep in the fourth inning, Alonso's fourth homer in the last five games and his 39th of the year. He's been flexing his muscles in August, slashing .254/.376/.690 through 20 games with nine long balls and 19 RBI as he closes in on his third career 40-homer campaign. Alonso also sits six RBI shy of his third season in triple digits.
Aug 19 2023Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 13-2 victory over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso plated Jeff McNeil on a two-run homer off Andrew Suarez in the seventh for the first baseman's third long ball of the last four games and his 38th of the campaign. Alonso trails only Matt Olson and presumptive AL MVP Shohei Ohtani in the home run column this season and is on pace to reach 40 long balls for a second straight year.
Aug 18 2023Alonso went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's victory over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso launched a two-run, 437-foot home run off Adam Wainwright in the top of the fourth to put the Mets up 2-0 and was also hit by a pitch later in the game. The first baseman has now homered in back-to-back contests and is up to seven long balls in the month of August, adding 16 RBI and nine runs scored over that stretch. He currently ranks third in the major leagues with 37 home runs.
Aug 10 2023Alonso went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and a stolen base in a 4-3 victory versus the Cubs on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso did what he does best in the fourth inning, tying the contest with a two-run shot off Kyle Hendricks. It was his third straight game with a homer and pushed his season total to 35, third-most in the majors. Alonso needs just five more home runs to match last season's total of 40, and he could even feasibly challenge his career-best mark of 53 long balls that he established as a rookie in 2019.
Aug 9 2023Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's first-inning, two-run homer was initially ruled a double, but it was confirmed to have cleared the center-field fence upon review, giving him three long balls in two days. After a tough start to the second half, the 28-year-old slugger has returned to form, boasting a remarkable 1.171 OPS over his last 17 games, including eight home runs, 22 RBI and 12 runs scored in 73 plate appearances during that stretch.
Aug 7 2023Alonso went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and six RBI in Monday's 11-2 win against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso provided muscle early, slamming a three-run homer in the first inning and a two-run shot in the third. The first baseman finished his productive day with a run-scoring single in the eighth. The six RBI tied a career high, and the multi-homer effort was his fourth of the campaign. Alonso ranks third in the majors in both home runs (33) and RBI (83) on the season.
Aug 2 2023Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman turned on a sub-90 mph sinker from Zack Greinke in the second inning and drove it over the fence in center field for a solo shot that got the Mets on the board, although they eventually lost 7-6. Alonso has regained his swagger at the plate, slashing .349/.396/.791 over the last 11 games with five homers and 15 RBI, and his 31 long balls on the season rank second in the NL behind Matt Olson's 36.
Jul 29 2023Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 5-1 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After launching two homers against the Yankees on Tuesday, Alonso repeated the feat against a division rival, taking MacKenzie Gore deep in the fifth inning for a three-run shot before driving a Rico Garcia fastball over the wall in center field for two more runs in the seventh. Alonso's bat may have woken up too late to salvage the season for the Mets, but over his last eight games he's batting .400 (12-for-30) with seven extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and four homers) and 11 RBI.
Jul 26 2023Alonso went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman ended a 12-game power drought by taking Domingo German deep in the third and sixth innings. Alonso began July by slashing .114/.286/.273 through his first 13 contests on the month, but he's now hit safely in five straight while batting .474 (9-for-19) with five extra-base hits including two doubles and a triple. If the Mets are looking for excuses not to blow up the roster at the trade deadline, a return to form for Alonso could provide them with one.
Jul 20 2023Alonso went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he's still tied for fifth in the majors with 26 home runs, Alonso's power production and batting average have both been trending down steadily since the beginning of June. Over the past seven weeks, Alonso has popped just six homers in 31 games and is slashing .136/.250/.327 during that same stretch. The Mets could soon look to build in an off day for the slumping Alonso, but he'll start at first base and bat cleanup in Thursday's series finale.
Jul 6 2023Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-0 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso knocked in the Mets' first three runs of the game, and it was more than enough for the win. The first baseman has been a little spotty in July, going 4-for-18 (.222) with two homers and six RBI over five games to begin the month. He's up to 26 long balls, 61 RBI, 50 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .218/.311/.514 slash line through 79 contests overall. Given that a bone bruise in his wrist was expected to keep him out until the first week of July, but he came back early June 18, it's possible playing through the issue has hindered his recovery a bit. He's lost 13 points from his batting average since his return.
Jul 2 2023Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's win over San Francisco. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's 25th homer of the year was a two-run blast in the eighth inning. It was his first long ball since June 25 and his third in 14 games since returning from the injured list. During that 14-game stretch, he's hitting .173 (9-for-52) with a 4:12 BB:K and six extra-base hits. Alonso's season OPS was raised to .836 with Sunday's big performance.
Jun 28 2023Alonso went 0-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The slugger made the most of a hit by pitch in the sixth inning, swiping second base and then coming home on a Tommy Pham double. Alonso isn't known for his exploits on the basepaths, but he's 3-for-3 on steal attempts this season and 11-for-12 since 2021. Since returning from a wrist injury June 18, he's gone just 5-for-35 (.143) at the plate, but four of the hits (two doubles and two homers) have gone for extra bases.
Jun 26 2023Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A two-run single in the third inning got the Mets on the board before Alonso took Jose Alvarado deep for a solo shot in the seventh. In seven games since making a stunning early return from a wrist injury, the first baseman has gone just 5-for-28 (.179), but four of the hits -- two doubles and two homers -- have gone for extra bases.
Jun 21 2023Alonso went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-8 loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman took Rafael Montero deep in the sixth inning, giving the Mets their last offense of the day. It's Alonso's first homer in four games since making an early return from a bone bruise in his wrist, but overall he's gone just 2-for-16 during that stretch. Despite missing eight games earlier this month with the injury, the 28-year-old still leads the NL with 23 home runs on the year.
Jun 19 2023Alonso went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making an early return from a bone bruise in his wrist he'd suffered July 7 after getting hit by a pitch, Alonso was back at first base and hitting cleanup but didn't appear to be quite 100 percent, as he also committed a fielding error in the seventh inning. Per Tim Britton of The Athletic, Alonso's early return -- the original timeline called for him to miss 3-4 weeks -- was mainly due to his ability to tolerate the pain, and the 28-year-old did claim he'd been able to swing a bat without discomfort for a couple days prior to his activation. Given his massive upside, most fantasy GMs won't have the luxury of keeping Alonso on their bench until he proves he's fully recovered, but he may need a little time to regain his power stroke.
Jun 18 2023Alonso (wrist) was reinstated off the 10-day injured list by the Mets on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This comes as a bit of a surprise, as there were no indications that Alonso was going to be activated this soon. The slugger ended up missing just the minimum 10 days after being placed on the injured list retroactive to June 8 with a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist. He returns to an .872 OPS with 22 homers and 49 RBI over his first 62 games of the season. Mark Vientos was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in the corresponding transaction to make room for Alonso on the active roster.
Jun 16 2023Mets manager Buck Showalter said Friday that Alonso (wrist) has been hitting in the batting cage and he expects the first baseman back "before long," Laura Albanese of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Showalter didn't offer an updated timetable for Alonso's return, but the fact that the slugger is already hitting would seem to give him a shot to beat his initial 3-to-4 week timetable. It's been only nine days since Alonso was diagnosed with a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist as a result of being plunked by Atlanta's Charlie Morton.
Jun 13 2023Alonso (wrist) fielded grounders at first base Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's encouraging news that Alonso is already able to do fielding work less than a week after he suffered a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist. Perhaps he can return on the shorter end of the projected 3-to-4 week recovery timetable. Mark Canha and Mark Vientos are currently sharing time at first base for the Mets.
Jun 9 2023Alonso was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was sent for a CT scan and MRI on Thursday after getting struck by a 97 mph Charlie Morton fastball in Wednesday's game versus Atlanta, and Alonso is now expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks. The power-hitting 28-year-old had delivered an .872 OPS with a league-leading 22 home runs and 49 RBI through 62 games this season with the Mets, who are starting Mark Canha at first base Friday in Pittsburgh. Mark Vientos could also be an option.
Jun 8 2023Mets manager Buck Showalter said Alonso underwent both a CT scan and MRI on his left wrist Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso had the CT scan in Atlanta on Thursday morning after taking a pitch off his wrist Wednesday, and he then flew back to New York in the afternoon to undergo the MRI. Showalter added that he's hopeful the power-hitting first baseman will be ready to play in Friday's series opener at Pittsburgh, but the results of the scans are not yet available.
Jun 7 2023X-rays on Alonso's left wrist came back negative Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After taking a 97 mph fastball to the hand during Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Alonso appears to have avoided a major injury. The Mets are officially calling it a bruised left wrist for Alonso, and he is listed as day-to-day.
Jun 4 2023Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso cut the Mets' deficit to 4-3 in the sixth inning with a line-drive homer off Nate Pearson. It's Alonso's 21st long ball of the season, extending his league lead. The power-hitting first baseman had been struggling coming into Sunday's contest, going 2-for-19 (.105) with a .255 OPS in his last five games. Alonso is now slashing .231/.324/.538 with 47 RBI in 256 plate appearances this season.
May 27 2023Alonso went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso was held hitless in the series opener in Colorado on Friday, but he was able to find his power swing again Saturday. This was his third homer in his last five games, and he's the first in the majors to 20 long balls this season. The first baseman is slashing .239/.339/.558 with 46 RBI and 37 runs scored as one of baseball's top power hitters.
May 24 2023Alonso went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso plated the Mets' only two runs of the game on a solo homer in the fourth and an RBI groundout in the sixth. He's now up to five home runs over his last seven games and has distanced himself a little bit at the top of the league with 18 on the year. The 28-year-old is slashing .230/.325/.541 with 43 RBI, 33 runs and a 24:45 BB:K over 209 plate appearances.
May 19 2023Alonso went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Friday's win over Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's massive homer tied the game at 7-7 in the seventh inning. He's gone deep in four straight games and has totaled six homers in his last 11 games. The 28-year-old slugger is pacing the league with 17 home runs through 46 games but he's hitting just .233.
May 17 2023Alonso went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Wednesday in a 10-inning victory versus Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso failed to reach base in his first four plate appearances, but that was all forgotten when he slugged a three-run homer against Pete Fairbanks in the 10th inning to send New York home with a dramatic come-from-behind win. It was the second straight game with a long ball for the first baseman, who also extended his on-base streak to 11 with the blast. Alonso ranks first in the majors with 15 homers on the season.
May 11 2023Alonso went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso took Hunter Greene deep to left to kick things off in the second inning for his league-leading 13th home run of the year. He is still struggling to hit for average but is making up for it in the power department and sits at fifth in baseball with 31 RBI. The 28-year-old is now slashing .239/.331/.543 and has shown more patience at the plate lately with a 6:2 BB:K over his last four games.
May 10 2023Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets launched four homers in total on the night, but three of them were solo shots including Alonso's seventh-inning blast off Luke Weaver. The first baseman is having a slow start to May, batting just .167 (5-for-30) through nine games, but he's still tied with Max Muncy for the major-league lead in home runs with 12.
May 2 2023Alonso went 1-for-8 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored across both games of a doubleheader against Atlanta on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's lone hit of the twin bill was a big one, as he launched a three-run shot off Spencer Strider in the matinee that gave New York life after initially trailing 6-1. The homer was the 11th of the campaign for Alonso, vaulting him into a tie with Max Muncy for most in the majors. Alonso is also tied for second in MLB with 28 RBI.
Apr 5 2023Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both blasts came off Corbin Burnes, as Alonso launched two-run shots off the Milwaukee ace in the third and fifth innings. The first baseman is only batting .192 (5-for-26) through seven games but four of his hits have gone for extra bases, including three homers.
Mar 31 2023Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three runs in the game came on solo shots, with Alonso launching his first long ball of the season in the ninth inning off A.J. Puk. The slugging first baseman hit 40 home runs in 2022 and is up to 147 through 532 games in his big-league career, and given that he already has a 53-homer campaign on his resume, it's not out of the question the 28-year-old will be chasing 200 late in the season.
Mar 25 2023Alonso went 2-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and a stolen base in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: His third-inning blast off Luis Patino gave Alonso his fourth homer of the spring, but the steal was his first. The first baseman appears ready for Opening Day, having posted a .286/.394/.714 slash line in 34 plate appearances this spring. Alonso will take aim at his third career 40-homer campaign in 2023.
Feb 26 2023Alonso went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's split-squad game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The slugging first baseman got an early start to his spring as he gears up for the World Baseball Classic, but Alonso already appeared to be in midseason form Saturday when he crushed a Braxton Garrett offering over the wall in center field in the second inning. Alonso launched 40 homers in 2022 -- the second time in his four-year MLB career he's reached that mark -- with a career-high 131 RBI, and he figures to be a major source of power again this season while hitting in the heart of a potent Mets lineup.
Oct 5 2022Alonso isn't starting Wednesday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso is riding a five-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-15 with three runs and four walks. However, he'll get a breather for Wednesday's regular-season finale while James McCann takes over at first base and bats eighth.
Sep 28 2022Alonso went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He got the Mets on the board by taking Pablo Lopez deep in the fourth inning, but the Mets were already in a 4-0 hole at that point. Alonso has homered in three straight games and five of the last seven, driving in an incredible 16 runs during that power surge. In addition to now holding the franchise's single-season record for RBI at 131, the 27-year-old has recorded his second career campaign with at least 40 home runs.
Sep 25 2022Alonso went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three runs and five RBI during Sunday's 13-4 victory over Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso singled and scored in the first inning, connected on a two-run homer in the fourth, singled in the sixth and knocked a bases-loaded double in the eighth for his second four-hit game of the campaign. The 27-year-old has been on a power binge of late with four long balls in his last six games -- batting 8-for-24 during the stretch -- and eight in September. The five-RBI performance pulls Alonso into a tie with Aaron Judge for the MLB lead with 128.
Sep 20 2022Alonso went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 7-5 victory over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso took Brad Boxberger deep for a three-run shot in the top of the sixth frame, narrowing the Brewers' lead to 4-3. The long ball was his 37th of the year and sixth of September over 19 games. Alonso has now driven in at least one run in eight consecutive games and he has now set a career-high with 121 RBI in 2022. The first baseman is now batting .267 with 37 homers, 121 RBI, 84 runs and five stolen bases over 149 games in his fourth season with the Mets.
Sep 18 2022Alonso went 0-for-3 with a run scored, an RBI, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in a 7-3 win Sunday over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso was beaned in the first, drove in a run on a fielder's choice and stole a base in the second and walked and scored in the eighth. It was his 115th RBI of the season and the sixth straight game that he drove in a run. He's reached base safely in 12 straight contests and has a .304/.389/.543 slash line with three homers and nine RBI in that span.
Sep 15 2022Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso went yard off righty reliever Michael Rucker with two outs in the eighth inning. The first baseman has put together an eight-game hit streak with three home runs and a double during that stretch. The 27-year-old has displayed slightly less power during his last 24 games, turning in a .409 slugging percentage with just six extra-base hits over 93 at-bats.
Sep 13 2022Alonso went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The slugger took Cubs reliever Brandon Hughes deep for a solo shot in the bottom of the ninth to pull the game within three, but it was not enough as the Mets lost the game. Alonso now has three home runs in the month of September and 34 on the season, which is good for second among first basemen. He is also second in the majors in RBI with 110, only trailing Aaron Judge.

The long ball was his fourth in his past eight games, a stretch during which he has also collected nine RBI. Over that span, six of Alonso's seven hits have gone for extra bases.
Jul 9 2021Alonso went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 13-4 win over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman went deep in the sixth inning to chase Pittsburgh starter JT Brubaker from the contest. Alonso seems to be gearing up for the Home Run Derby quite nicely with five long balls in his last 11 games. Through 297 plate appearances, he's posted 16 homers, 48 RBI, 37 runs scored, a stolen base and a .257/.337/.483 slash line as the Mets' main cleanup hitter.
Jul 4 2021Alonso went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 loss in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso provided both New York runs with his fourth inning home run off reliever Darren O'Day, recording one of just three New York hits in the process. It was the first baseman's second homer on the day as he also went yard in Game 1 and was his fourth home run in the last seven games.
Jun 28 2021Alonso went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Monday's 8-4 loss to Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's 12th homer of the season was a two-run blast in the eighth inning to cut the Nationals' lead to 5-3. It was just his second homer over the last 19 games and fifth of the month. He's sporting an .818 OPS with 38 RBI over 259 plate appearances on the year.
Jun 27 2021Alonso went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman got the Mets on the board with an RBI single in the eighth inning to plate Francisco Lindor. Alonso has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, going 12-for-34 (.353) with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in that span. Despite the lack of counting stats recently, he's still put together a solid season with 11 home runs, 36 RBI, 31 runs scored and a steal while slashing .261/.345/.450 across 255 plate appearances.
Jun 22 2021Alonso is out of the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso started the past 18 games and will take a seat after posting a .775 OPS during that stretch. Dominic Smith will shift to first base while Kevin Pillar receives the start in left field.
Jun 20 2021Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso has now reached base in each of his last five games, and he hit his first home run since June 9 in Sunday's matchup. He's now slashing .247/.333/.455 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 31 runs in 2021.
Jun 9 2021Alonso went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three total RBI and three total runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso launched his 10th homer of the season during the first inning, and his two-run blast off former Mets ace, Matt Harvey, set the tone for the rest of the game for New York. The slugging first baseman also extended his hitting streak to five games and has recorded back-to-back multi-hit games for the first time in 2021. He's hitting .265 with 10 home runs, 31 RBI and a .850 OPS on the season.
Jun 8 2021Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI during Tuesday's 10-3 loss at Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old clubbed a two-run shot during the first inning and also hit a solo homer during the ninth, but the rest of the New York's offense mustered only two singles on the day. Alonso is 10-for-30 with three homers, nine RBI and six runs across his past eight contests.
Jun 3 2021Alonso is not in the lineup Thursday at San Diego. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old returned from the injured list Monday after missing less than two weeks with a hand sprain, but he'll take a seat Thursday after going 5-for-13 with a homer, five RBI and three runs in his first three games back. Dominic Smith will move to first base in Alonso's place, while Kevin Pillar starts in left field.
Jun 1 2021Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two additional RBI in Monday's win over Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso couldn't have wished for a stronger return, as he was activated from the injured list a few hours before the game and contributed with four of the team's six runs, including his seventh home run of the campaign. The slugger is hitting .242 on the season.
May 31 2021The Mets reinstated Alonso (hand) on the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso spent just over the minimum amount of the time on the shelf while recovering from a sprained right hand. Expect the 2019 NL Rookie of the Year to immediately reclaim an everyday role at first base and in the heart of the lineup, with James McCann shifting back behind the plate.
May 30 2021Alonso (hand) is expected to be activated from the injured list for Sunday's game versus Atlanta, or Monday should the game be postponed, Buster Olney of ESPN reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old didn't return from the injured list when first eligible Saturday, but he should be back in the lineup a day or two later. Alonso has been taking grounders and hitting off a pitching machine over the past few days and won't require a rehab assignment given his short time on the shelf.
May 29 2021Alonso (hand) isn't expected to require a rehab assignment before returning from the injured list, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso didn't return from the injured list when first eligible Saturday, but it doesn't look like he'll miss much more time. He's been taking grounders and hitting off a pitching machine in recent days, though the Mets still haven't specified exactly when he'll return to the roster.
May 28 2021Alonso (hand) took batting practice off a high-velocity machine Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso shed his brace while taking grounders at first base Wednesday, and manager Luis Rojas confirmed that the first baseman is "trending well" in his recovery. Alonso appears to be on track for a relatively brief stay on the injured list, but the team hasn't yet decided whether he'll need a rehab assignment.
May 26 2021Alsonso (hand) wasn't wearing a brace while taking grounders at first base Wednesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso is eligible to return from the injured list Saturday, and the team remains hopeful that he's on track for a brief absence. While the Mets haven't specified whether Alonso will be activated Saturday, his participation in drills without a brace on his hand is certainly encouraging.
May 24 2021Alonso (hand) remains on track for a brief stay on the injured list, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso is eligible to return to the roster Saturday. The Mets didn't specify exactly when he'd be back, but it looks as though a minimum-length absence is on the table.
May 21 2021Alonso (sprained hand) hopes to return from the injured list when first eligible May 29 against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, but it sounds like it could be a short stay. In the meantime, Dominic Smith will act as the primary first baseman. The Mets are having J.D. Davis (finger) play first base during his rehab assignment, so he could also get some starts there when he gets activated in the coming days.
May 19 2021Alonso is dealing with soreness in his left wrist and had X-rays come back negative Wednesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It appeared to be a standard off day for the 26-year-old -- his first of the season -- but it turns out he's actually managing an injury. The issue apparently first surfaced when he was hit by a pitch by the Cardinals on May 5. Alonso will have Thursday's scheduled off day to be evaluated without missing another game, and he's expected to undergo an MRI.
May 15 2021Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 12-5 loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The homer was the sixth of 2021 for Alonso, but his first since April 25. The first baseman has hit just .148 in his last nine games, with Saturday's homer being his first RBI in that span. Perhaps the homer will get Alonso's bat going, although he's likely locked in as the Mets' starting first baseman for the foreseeable future regardless of his offensive performance.
May 12 2021Alonso went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-1 victory over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman is hitting just 3-for-21 in his last seven games, but he has scored seven runs in that span. Power figures to become more prominent in Alonso's game, as he's homered just five times on the season, the most recent of which being April 25. Regardless, he's getting on base and scoring at a respectable rate, which will maintain his legitimate fantasy value even without remarkable home run totals.
May 3 2021Alonso went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and two runs scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The third-year slugger has found a groove at the plate, putting together a five-game hit streak that includes four doubles in the last three. On the season, Alonso's hitting .282 with five homers and 16 RBI through 24 contests.
Apr 25 2021Alonso went 1-for-2 with a home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's win over Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso launched his fifth homer of the season in the fifth inning off Patrick Corbin, and the slugger has gone deep three times over his last five games. He also extended his hitting streak to five games, a span in which he's racked up three homers, five RBI, four walks and four runs scored.
Apr 22 2021Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso got the Mets on the board by launching a two-run shot against Trevor WIlliams in the fourth inning. It was the second homer in as many nights for the 26-year-old slugger, who is hitting .231/.293/.500 this season while leading New York with four long balls and 11 RBI.
Apr 17 2021Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman connected on his second homer of the year in the sixth inning off Mychal Givens. Alonso struck out in all three at-bats in the nightcap and overall has had a slow start to the year, with his slash line sitting at .222/.293/.444 after Saturday's long ball.
Apr 6 2021Alonso went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He took David Hale deep in the ninth inning to give the Mets some extra cushion. It was Alonso's first homer of the year after a 1-for-4 showing in the team's belated season opener, and already the 70th of his career in only 220 games.
Mar 16 2021Alonso has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with three doubles and two home runs over his first nine Grapefruit League appearances. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The slugging first baseman saw his numbers tumble a bit last season in his second MLB campaign, but Alonso still posted a 162-game pace of 45 homers and 99 RBI. His batting average will always be volatile due to his strikeouts, but the 26-year-old's power potential remains elite.
Sep 27 2020Alonso went 3-for-5 with two homers, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 15-5 loss to Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso got the scoring starting with a two-run blast in the first inning before knocking a solo shot in the seventh when the game was already far out of reach. While he finished the season with a .231/.326/.490 slash line, the 25-year-old slugger was just starting to heat up; he ended the season on a six-game hitting streak with 10 hits and four homers during that span. Alonso finished the 2020 campaign with 16 long balls and 35 RBI.
Sep 23 2020Alonso went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's big night at the dish helped the Mets keep their faint playoff hopes alive for another day, but any late flurry to finish the season won't be enough for him to repay fantasy managers who invested in him on draft day. A .220 BABIP and overall downturn in power production has limited Alonso to a .741 OPS this season, 200 points below his mark from his brilliant rookie campaign.
Sep 18 2020Alonso is not in the lineup Friday against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There haven't been reports that Alonso is battling an injury, so it's unusual to see him sit against lefty Max Fried, with the left-handed Dominic Smith starting ahead of him at first bench. Still, it's possible Alonso has been benched on merit, as his .755 OPS is considerably worse than Smith's 1.034 mark as well as designated hitter J.D. Davis's .802 mark.
Sep 17 2020Alonso went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso initiated a Mets comeback with a solo shot to left field in the sixth inning. While his .215 average and .754 OPS are considerable dropoffs from his 2019 Rookie of the Year campaign, Alonso does rank in the top 10 among National League hitters with 12 long balls on the season.
Sep 16 2020Alonso is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso finds himself on the bench for the fourth time this season. That's not a high number by any means, though it's higher than one would have expected giving his fantastic .260/.358/.583 slash line as a rookie. He hasn't come close to matching that this year, however, hitting .216/.318/.433. Dominic Smith will be the first baseman Wednesday, with J.D. Davis serving as the designated hitter.
Sep 10 2020Alonso went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored as he helped the Mets to a 7-6 win over the Orioles on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso played the hero in Wednesday's game as he took Hunter Harvey deep off the first pitch he saw in the eighth to give the Mets their first lead of the game. The 25-year-old is still hitting a mere .234/.339/.474 this season but is tied for fifth in the majors with 11 home runs.
Sep 7 2020Alonso will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and will bat sixth Monday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso has now made six of his last 10 starts as a designated hitter, as the Mets have instead preferred to deploy Dominic Smith at first base of late while using Jeff McNeil in left field and Robinson Cano at the keystone. The recent shuffling of defensive roles shouldn't affect Alonso's fantasy outlook heading into 2021, as he'll still retain first-base eligibility after having already made 30 starts at the position this season.
Sep 6 2020Alonso went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and two strikeouts in Sunday's win against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso wasn't in the Mets' lineup Saturday, but the day off apparently served him well as he swatted three extra-base hits against the Phillies. The 25-year-old has largely struggled to begin the season, but he's now hit four home runs over his past four contests.
Sep 5 2020Alonso is not in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso has been surprisingly unimpressive at the plate this season, hitting just .210/.321/.406. That hasn't translated into a significant drop in playing time, as he finds himself on the bench for just the third time all year Saturday. Dominic Smith will be the first baseman in his absence.
Sep 3 2020Alonso went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso had a game to forget until the 10th inning, when he came to the plate in a tie game. He smacked his eighth homer of the season over the left-field wall to give the Mets a walkoff victory. Alonso has now homered in consecutive games, though he has collected just five hits in his last 41 at-bats. While his overall performance at the plate has been disappointing, Alonso has still managed 19 runs scored and 22 RBI while hitting just .209/.323/.410 across 158 plate appearances.
Aug 28 2020Alonso went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts in Friday's Game 1 win against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso had gone hitless with two strikeouts over his past nine at-bats, but he gave the Mets a boost with a three-run blast in the sixth inning. He now has a .779 OPS with six home runs and 16 RBI this year.
Aug 18 2020Alonso went 3-for-3 with two walks and two solo home runs in Monday's 11-4 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He went back-to-back with Robinson Cano in the sixth inning, as each player launched two homers on the night. Alonso had a rough start to the year but he now has three long balls and three multi-hit efforts in his last five starts, pushing his slash line up to .241/.359/.448 through 23 games.
Aug 16 2020Alonso is not in Sunday's lineup against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He is hitting .263 with a home run, six strikeouts and one walk over his last five games. Dominic Smith will start at first base while Robinson Cano shifts to designated hitter.
Aug 12 2020Alonso went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 11-6 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets gave Alonso a day off Tuesday and it looked smart a day later as Alonso erupted for eight total bases. Alonso entered the day out of the lineup amidst a 7-for-41 (.171) slide. His numbers are still below expectations, but he's a lot closer after this performance.
Aug 11 2020Alonso is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This appears to be nothing more than a routing off day for the young slugger. He may need a day to sort things out after hitting just .200/.333/.308 through his first 17 games. Dominic Smith will handle first base in his absence.
Aug 8 2020Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso saw an 89-mph fastball gift-wrapped over the heart of the plate (from a lefty in Daniel Castano) and hammered it 116.9 mph off the bat, the second-highest exit velocity on a batted ball in MLB this season. It was only his second homer and Alonso is still batting just .211, but Alonso can do damage with the best of them when he does put bat to ball.
Jul 27 2020Alonso went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-4 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso went deep off of Red Sox reliever Jeffrey Springs in the third inning. It was a much-needed long ball for the reigning NL Rookie of the Year, who had just one hit in 11 at-bats over the first three games of the season. Alonso set a rookie record and led the majors with 53 homers in 2019, so it's unlikely his bat will stay cool for long.
Mar 12 2020Alonso and the Mets agreed to a one-year contract worth over $652,000 on Wednesday, an MLB record for a player heading into his second season, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Players have no bargaining power before they reach their arbitration years, so the club giving Alonso anything more than the league minimum of $563,500 was essentially a show of gratitude for his exploits as a rookie. The 25-year-old hasn't found his timing at the plate yet this spring -- he's hitting only .243 (9-for-37) without a homer -- but Alonso still has a couple weeks to round into form before Opening Day.
Nov 11 2019Alonso won the 2019 National League Rookie of the Year award Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso broke the rookie home-run record during an outstanding 2019 campaign, clubbing 53 home runs while driving in 120 runs over 161 games. He also put together a .260/.358/.583 slash line. Alonso's performance was good enough to earn 29 out of 30 first-place votes.
Sep 28 2019Alonso went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Braves. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso delivered his 53rd homer of the season 415 feet to center field during the third inning to break Aaron Judge's all-time rookie record for home runs in a season. The young slugger has a .260/.359/.586 slash line with 30 doubles and 120 RBI in 160 games during his rookie campaign.
Sep 27 2019Alonso went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored Friday against the Braves. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso cranked his 52nd home run of the 2019 campaign in the bottom of the first inning, tying Aaron Judge for the all-time rookie record. The 24-year-old slugger is slashing .260/.359/.582 over 159 games this season, and he'll have two more contests to take sole possession of the home-run record.
Sep 26 2019Alonso went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While the Mets were eliminated from postseason contention by a Brewers win Wednesday, Alonso will still have plenty to play for over the final few games of the season. The rookie slugger not only leads the majors with 51 homers, two ahead of Eugenio Suarez, but he's one more long ball away from tying Aaron Judge's all-time rookie record of 52. Alonso will have four more games to try and match, or even pass, Judge in the history books.
Sep 20 2019Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Friday night against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso gave his team some cushion in the eighth inning with a two-run blast to center field, his 50th of the season. The 24-year-old has now homered in three straight contests, registering five hits and six RBI over that stretch.
Sep 18 2019Alonso went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs and a walk during a 7-4 victory against the Rockies on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With another long ball, Alonso sits one shy of 50 homers as a rookie. What an incredible number. He likes hitting at Coors Field, as he went 6-for-11 (.545) with two homers and a double during the three-game series. Alonso leads baseball with 49 home runs and also has a .266 average, 113 RBI, 95 runs and one steal in 556 at-bats this year.
Sep 13 2019Alonso is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso started the last 35 games and posted a .967 OPS with 13 home runs and 31 RBI in that stretch, but he'll take a seat for the series opener. The rookie slugger is 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts in his last three contests, so it seems to be a good time for a day off. Todd Frazier will start at first base and bat sixth in his absence.
Sep 9 2019Alonso went 2-for-4 with two solo homers in Monday's 3-1 win over Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alonso's storybook rookie season keeps getting better as he's up to 47 homers and 107 RBI this season. He carried the offense again Monday with homers in the first and fifth innings. Alonso owns a .968 OPS and has a shot at reaching the 50-homer mark this month.
Sep 4 2019Alonso went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an 8-4 victory against the Nationals on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old continues to display incredible power, as he's already smashed three homers this month and 11 since Aug. 5. Behind 74 extra-base hits, Alonso nearly has a .600 slugging percentage in 2019. He is batting .267 with 45 home runs, 105 RBI, 86 runs and one steal in 509 at-bats this season.
Sep 2 2019Alonso went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

Jul 21 2018Alonso went 3-for-4 with a home run, triple and a walk Friday in Triple-A Las Vegas' 11-8 loss to Reno.After getting off to a 5-for-45 start to July, Alonso's bat has heated up the last two games, with the first baseman reaching base in seven of 10 plate appearances. The back-to-back strong showings came after he returned from a dazzling performance earlier in the week at the Futures Game, where he homered on the hardest-hit ball of the contest, as measured by Statcast data. Perhaps a turnaround is brewing for Alonso, who is hitting just .200/.325/.486 across 126 plate appearance since being promoted to the Pacific Coast League in mid-June.
May 30 2018Through 50 games with Double-A Binghamton this season, Alonso, 23, is hitting .333/.460/.632 with 14 home runs and 42 RBI across 213 plate appearances.Alonso was highly impressive during his late-season promotion to Binghamton in 2017, but he has taken his game to a whole new level in his first extended action in the Eastern League. His 14 home runs lead the circuit, while his on-base percentage trails only uber prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (.474) among players with at least 40 games played. Perhaps even more than his solid power production, Alonso's improved approach at the plate has elevated him on prospect lists. He owns a 35:41 BB:K for the season, with his 17 percent walk rate doubling his career mark entering 2018. While the Mets have another well-regarded first-base prospect in Dominic Smith at Triple-A Las Vegas, Smith has been seeing more reps in the corner outfield of late, an indication the organization may be viewing Alonso as its preferred first baseman of the future.
May 16 2018Alonso went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI for Double-A Binghamton in Tuesday's win over Erie.His ninth-inning solo shot was the game-winner in a 6-5 victory. Alonso now leads the Eastern League in OPS (1.173) and is tied with Cavan Biggio for the league lead in homers with 11, putting the Mets' No. 1 fantasy prospect on the fast track for a big-league debut potentially in the second half of 2018.
Apr 30 2018Alonso went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and three runs for Double-A Binghamton in the affiliate's 6-4 win over Erie on Sunday.Alonso has cleared the fences in four consecutive games, bringing his home-run total up to seven in just 88 plate appearances this season. The 23-year-old impressed late last season in a smaller sample of games with Binghamton and has only upped the ante in 2018, producing an incredible 1.278 OPS in the Eastern League. Though Adrian Gonzalez merely represents a placeholder at first base for the big club, it's not expected that Alonso will earn an extended audition in the majors at any point in the near future, despite his immense success to date.
Apr 28 2018Alonso went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI for Double-A Binghamton in Friday's win over Erie.It was his third straight multi-hit performance, and Alonso now boasts a ridiculous .397/.500/.730 slash line through 19 games with five homers and 14 RBI. Encouragingly, the 23-year-old is enjoying plenty of success against same-side pitching to begin 2018, with four of his five home runs coming off RHP. The sample sizes are still very small, but if Alonso can maintain more even splits than he has in the past, the Mets' No. 1 fantasy prospect could overtake Dominic Smith in the organization's eyes as their first baseman of the future given his superior power potential.
Mar 14 2018The Mets reassigned Alonso to their minor-league camp Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.Alonso, who was attending Mets camp as a non-roster invitee, went 2-for-14 in Grapefruit League games in his first spring training with the big club. The first baseman is expected to open the upcoming campaign at Double-A Binghamton after logging only 47 plate appearances in the Eastern League in 2017 following his late-season promotion from High-A St. Lucie.
Feb 12 2018Alonso will attend spring training as a non-roster invitee, Abbey Mastracco of NJ.com reports.Alonso comes into camp with little hope to make the major-league roster, but he'll get the chance to see some live arms this spring. He smashed 16 home runs and drove in 58 RBI at High-A St. Lucie in 2017 before being promoted to Double-A Binghamton. Alonso is currently the No. 7 prospect within the Mets's minor-league system and will look to build on the success he had last season.
Aug 31 2017Alonso went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs for Double-A Binghamton in Wednesday's win over Erie.After going 0-for-4 in his first game at Double-A following a promotion, the 22-year-old has now put together a seven-game hitting streak and five-game extra-base hit streak, with Wednesday's homers being his first for Binghamton. Alonso, the Mets' No. 10 fantasy prospect, has now gone yard 18 times this season in just 90 games between High-A and Double-A, flashing the plus power that made him a second-round pick in 2016. With Dominic Smith -- who's six months younger than Alonso -- just beginning his tenure in the majors as the club's first baseman of the future, however, there's no clear path right now to a big-league starting job in Queens for the right-handed slugger.
Jul 26 2017Alonso missed time this season with a hand injury, J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reports.The Mets' first baseman prospect is slashing .265/.330/.507 with High-A St. Lucie this season, including 12 home runs and 15 doubles in 211 at-bats. The power numbers make Alonso attractive in deeper dynasty formats, as he projects as a possible clean up hitter one day in the big leagues if he can hit right-handed pitchers.
Jun 1 2017Alonso (undisclosed) is back in action at High-A St. Lucie. He has one hit (a solo home run) and four strikeouts in 19 at-bats since coming off the DL.The power-hitting first baseman missed six weeks with an undisclosed injury. He has big right-handed power, but will need to show that he can hit for a high average to profile as an everyday player.
