Alonso is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso has carried over his strong spring training to the regular season, as he's turned in a .389/.476/.611 batting line while starting in five of the team's first six games. Despite that success, manager Bob Melvin is still inclined to hold Alonso out against opposing left-handers, so he'll concede first base to Ryon Healy with southpaw Martin Perez twirling for the Rangers.
