Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two additional RBI in Monday's win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso couldn't have wished for a stronger return, as he was activated from the injured list a few hours before the game and contributed with four of the team's six runs, including his seventh home run of the campaign. The slugger is hitting .242 on the season.

The Mets reinstated Alonso (hand) on the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso spent just over the minimum amount of the time on the shelf while recovering from a sprained right hand. Expect the 2019 NL Rookie of the Year to immediately reclaim an everyday role at first base and in the heart of the lineup, with James McCann shifting back behind the plate.

Alonso (hand) is expected to be activated from the injured list for Sunday's game versus Atlanta, or Monday should the game be postponed, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old didn't return from the injured list when first eligible Saturday, but he should be back in the lineup a day or two later. Alonso has been taking grounders and hitting off a pitching machine over the past few days and won't require a rehab assignment given his short time on the shelf.

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.

Alonso (hand) took batting practice off a high-velocity machine Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso shed his brace while taking grounders at first base Wednesday, and manager Luis Rojas confirmed that the first baseman is "trending well" in his recovery. Alonso appears to be on track for a relatively brief stay on the injured list, but the team hasn't yet decided whether he'll need a rehab assignment.

Alsonso (hand) wasn't wearing a brace while taking grounders at first base Wednesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso is eligible to return from the injured list Saturday, and the team remains hopeful that he's on track for a brief absence. While the Mets haven't specified whether Alonso will be activated Saturday, his participation in drills without a brace on his hand is certainly encouraging.

Alonso (hand) remains on track for a brief stay on the injured list, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Alonso (sprained hand) hopes to return from the injured list when first eligible May 29 against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, but it sounds like it could be a short stay. In the meantime, Dominic Smith will act as the primary first baseman. The Mets are having J.D. Davis (finger) play first base during his rehab assignment, so he could also get some starts there when he gets activated in the coming days.

Alonso landed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right hand Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso had been out with what was called a sore left wrist, but it's a separate issue which will send him to the injured list. The move was backdated to Wednesday, meaning he'll be eligible to return a week from Saturday, though it's not yet clear if he'll be able to do so. Brandon Drury was called up in a corresponding move and will get the nod at first base Friday against the Marlins.

Alonso is dealing with soreness in his left wrist and had X-rays come back negative Wednesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appeared to be a standard off day for the 26-year-old -- his first of the season -- but it turns out he's actually managing an injury. The issue apparently first surfaced when he was hit by a pitch by the Cardinals on May 5. Alonso will have Thursday's scheduled off day to be evaluated without missing another game, and he's expected to undergo an MRI.
