Alonso (back), who is nursing a sore back after being hit by a pitch Sunday, may only be available as a defensive replacement Monday, Dennis Lin of the Union-Tribune reports. Alonso is not in the lineup Monday, which led to manager Bud Black sliding Yangervis Solarte over to first base. Lin noted that Alonso's back soreness may eliminate his availability to pinch hit Monday, but there's no indication that Alonso will miss significant time. He should be considered day-to-day for the time being.
