Updating a previous report, Alonso (wrist) will return to the Athletics lineup Sunday. He'll play first base and bat fifth.

EDGE Analysis

The initial lineup the Athletics released listed Alonso as a bench player for the fourth straight contest, but it appears that the soreness in the 29-year-old's bruised wrist has subsided enough for him to return to the field. If Alonso is able to make it out of Sunday's contest no worse for the wear, it should give fantasy owners confidence to keep him active for the upcoming week. However, given the nature of Alonso's injury, it wouldn't be surprising if he struggles to immediately display the power that has made him a breakout player in the first two months of the season.
