Alonso is out of the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Alonso will receive a day off Thursday with the left-handed Tim Cooney toeing the rubber for the Cardinals. Although he hit a bit of a rough patch (1-for-11) over the past three games, the veteran first baseman has had his best statistical season to this point, batting .310/.396/.402 so far. Derek Norris will move to first base in his place Thursday, while Austin Hedges will enter the lineup behind the plate.
