Alonso went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs during Monday's win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso has found a groove at the dish and boasts an eight-game hitting streak. He's driven in eight runs and scored six times during that stretch and is now up to an impressive .273/.368/.518 slash line for the season. Alonso is on the larger share of a platoon at first base and is in line to have a strong finish to the campaign hitting in the top third of the Seattle lineup.

Alonso is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
As per usual, Danny Valencia will slide into the lineup for Alonso as the opposition sends out a left-handed starter (Blake Snell). Alonso is picking things up after a slow start for his new club, and he is now in the midst of a modest six-game hit streak.

Alonso went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
It was his 23rd homer of the year but first in eight games since joining the Mariners. Alonso is hitting just .242 (22-for-91) since the All-Star break with three home runs in 29 games, but he's showing signs of heating up again now that he's getting comfortable in his new uniform.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The recent trade acquisition has been scuffling at the plate since arriving earlier in the week from the Athletics, but perhaps Saturday's multi-hit effort, his first since July 30, will jump-start his Seattle tenure. Alonso is just 3-for-19 overall since donning a Mariners uniform, yet brings substantial power upside to an already impressive lineup. He's part of a platoon with fellow veteran Danny Valencia at first base and could certainly benefit from continuing to be deployed out of the two hole, as he has been in each of his first four starts in his new digs.

Alonso is starting at first base and batting second.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso is set to face his old team in his first start for the Mariners after being added to the active roster earlier in the day. The 30-year-old, who owns a .266/.369/.527 slash in 100 games this season, is expected to operate on the larger side of a platoon with Danny Valencia moving forward.

Alonso was traded to the Mariners on Sunday in exchange for minor-league outfielder Boog Powell.
EDGE Analysis
The Athletics were unable to find a trade suitor for Alonso prior to the deadline, but after exposing the first baseman to non-revocable waivers, they were able to successfully broker a deal with their division rival. With his new team, Alonso, a soon-to-be free agent, is expected to occupy the larger side of a platoon at first base with former Athletics teammate Danny Valencia. Alonso is expected to remain in Oakland for the time being and make his Mariners debut against the Athletics on Tuesday, when the two sides begin a two-game series.

Alonso is out of Saturday's lineup against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso is hitting just .215 with six home runs over his last 149 at-bats, so his bat has really cooled off after a hot first two months. Ryon Healy will start at first base and hit fifth.
