Alonso (knee) is not in the A's starting lineup Saturday, but is feeling better every day, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the A's facing left-handed pitchers over the next couple of days, it's likely Alonso - who owns a .167 average against southpaws this season - will sit out this weekend and utilize Monday's off day before returning Tuesday. Nonetheless, it's encouraging that the slugger is feeling better after complaining of knee soreness, so look for him to avoid an extended period of time on the bench.
