Alonso went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Monday's win over the Rockies.
First base was viewed as one of the view remaining weaknesses for the Padres following an active offseason, but Alonso's performance so far this season has seemed to quell those concerns. While he's unsurprisingly showing limited power with only three extra-base hits (two doubles, one homer) through 13 games, Alonso's ability to hit for contact is a legitimate skill, and it seems to be paying dividends, as he's now upholding a .364 average. So long as fantasy owners aren't counting on him for substantial help in the home run and RBI categories, Alonso represents a worthy target for those looking for help in batting average stabilization.
