Alonso (hand) isn't expected to require a rehab assignment before returning from the injured list, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso didn't return from the injured list when first eligible Saturday, but it doesn't look like he'll miss much more time. He's been taking grounders and hitting off a pitching machine in recent days, though the Mets still haven't specified exactly when he'll return to the roster.
