Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso knocked in the Mets' first three runs of the game, and it was more than enough for the win. The first baseman has been a little spotty in July, going 4-for-18 (.222) with two homers and six RBI over five games to begin the month. He's up to 26 long balls, 61 RBI, 50 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .218/.311/.514 slash line through 79 contests overall. Given that a bone bruise in his wrist was expected to keep him out until the first week of July, but he came back early June 18, it's possible playing through the issue has hindered his recovery a bit. He's lost 13 points from his batting average since his return.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's win over San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso's 25th homer of the year was a two-run blast in the eighth inning. It was his first long ball since June 25 and his third in 14 games since returning from the injured list. During that 14-game stretch, he's hitting .173 (9-for-52) with a 4:12 BB:K and six extra-base hits. Alonso's season OPS was raised to .836 with Sunday's big performance.

Alonso went 0-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The slugger made the most of a hit by pitch in the sixth inning, swiping second base and then coming home on a Tommy Pham double. Alonso isn't known for his exploits on the basepaths, but he's 3-for-3 on steal attempts this season and 11-for-12 since 2021. Since returning from a wrist injury June 18, he's gone just 5-for-35 (.143) at the plate, but four of the hits (two doubles and two homers) have gone for extra bases.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

A two-run single in the third inning got the Mets on the board before Alonso took Jose Alvarado deep for a solo shot in the seventh. In seven games since making a stunning early return from a wrist injury, the first baseman has gone just 5-for-28 (.179), but four of the hits -- two doubles and two homers -- have gone for extra bases.

Alonso went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-8 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman took Rafael Montero deep in the sixth inning, giving the Mets their last offense of the day. It's Alonso's first homer in four games since making an early return from a bone bruise in his wrist, but overall he's gone just 2-for-16 during that stretch. Despite missing eight games earlier this month with the injury, the 28-year-old still leads the NL with 23 home runs on the year.

Alonso went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Making an early return from a bone bruise in his wrist he'd suffered July 7 after getting hit by a pitch, Alonso was back at first base and hitting cleanup but didn't appear to be quite 100 percent, as he also committed a fielding error in the seventh inning. Per Tim Britton of The Athletic, Alonso's early return -- the original timeline called for him to miss 3-4 weeks -- was mainly due to his ability to tolerate the pain, and the 28-year-old did claim he'd been able to swing a bat without discomfort for a couple days prior to his activation. Given his massive upside, most fantasy GMs won't have the luxury of keeping Alonso on their bench until he proves he's fully recovered, but he may need a little time to regain his power stroke.

Alonso (wrist) was reinstated off the 10-day injured list by the Mets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

This comes as a bit of a surprise, as there were no indications that Alonso was going to be activated this soon. The slugger ended up missing just the minimum 10 days after being placed on the injured list retroactive to June 8 with a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist. He returns to an .872 OPS with 22 homers and 49 RBI over his first 62 games of the season. Mark Vientos was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in the corresponding transaction to make room for Alonso on the active roster.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Friday that Alonso (wrist) has been hitting in the batting cage and he expects the first baseman back "before long," Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Showalter didn't offer an updated timetable for Alonso's return, but the fact that the slugger is already hitting would seem to give him a shot to beat his initial 3-to-4 week timetable. It's been only nine days since Alonso was diagnosed with a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist as a result of being plunked by Atlanta's Charlie Morton.

Alonso (wrist) fielded grounders at first base Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's encouraging news that Alonso is already able to do fielding work less than a week after he suffered a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist. Perhaps he can return on the shorter end of the projected 3-to-4 week recovery timetable. Mark Canha and Mark Vientos are currently sharing time at first base for the Mets.

Alonso was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was sent for a CT scan and MRI on Thursday after getting struck by a 97 mph Charlie Morton fastball in Wednesday's game versus Atlanta, and Alonso is now expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks. The power-hitting 28-year-old had delivered an .872 OPS with a league-leading 22 home runs and 49 RBI through 62 games this season with the Mets, who are starting Mark Canha at first base Friday in Pittsburgh. Mark Vientos could also be an option.
