Alonso went 2-for-4 with three RBI from a solo home run and two-run blast in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The All-Star first baseman snapped out of a 16-game long-ball drought in spectacular fashion, taking White Sox starter James Shields deep twice for his first multi-RBI effort since June 3. Alonso's second round tripper was particularly timely, as it plated Khris Davis and erased a 5-4 fifth-inning deficit. Alonso has at least one hit in each of the first four games of July, leading to a .313/.389/.688 line over his first 18 plate appearances of the month.

Alonso (knee) is back in the lineup for Saturday's affair against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso was not in the lineup during the past two days following a knee contusion that the first baseman suffered in Wednesday's game. He came in to pinch hit during Friday's loss, but returns to play first base and bat fifth in the order for Saturday's matinee.

Alonso (knee) is not in the lineup Friday against Atlanta, Joe Stiglich of NBC Sports California reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso fouled a ball off his knee during Wednesday's game and has been out since. He is only dealing with a bruise, so a disabled list stint isn't expected, and it would be a surprise if he isn't able to return to the lineup at some point this weekend.

Alonso (knee) was unavailable to play Thursday and may be held out of Friday's contest as well, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso missed Thursday's series finale against Houston after exiting Wednesday's game with a knee injury. The first baseman fouled a ball off his knee, and the minor setback could cause Alonso to miss a couple more games. He should be considered day-to-day for the time being, as it's up in the air over whether he will be in Friday's lineup against Atlanta.

Alonso (knee) is out of the lineup for Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman left Wednesday's game with a knee contusion and will take the day off Thursday to rest. Although Alonso believed he could return to the lineup for the series finale, the team decided to play it safe and give Matt Olson the nod at first. Alonso should be considered day-to-day and will likely return to the lineup for Friday's contest against the Braves.

Alonso (knee) believes there's a chance he could return to the lineup Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso described the injury as the ball just hitting him in "the wrong spot." The Athletics seem to mirror this confidence, as they did not send him for X-rays after the game. How Alonso feels Thursday morning will ultimately decide if he's in the lineup for the 2:10 ET first pitch against the Astros.

Alonso was forced out of Wednesday's game with a knee contusion, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

No X-rays are scheduled at this point, so it appears the Athletics aren't too worried about the issue. Alonso should be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Alonso was removed from Wednesday's game against the Astros after fouling a ball off his knee, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso was 0-for-4 before being replaced at the plate by Rajai Davis in the eighth innings. He was able to walk off the field without any help, so the injury doesn't appear to be overly serious at this point; he'll be considered day-to-day until he is further evaluated.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored Sunday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso's eighth-inning single broke a 2-2 tie against Chicago and gave Oakland a lead it would not relinquish, as the A's went on to win 5-3. He entered with just four hits in his last 22 at-bats with no RBI over his previous six games, so perhaps he can return to the form that led to him hitting .292 in 249 plate appearances this season.

Alonso went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso provided Oakland's only extra-base hit on a night when they reached safely only seven times overall. The veteran first baseman's career year continues rolling along, as he's reached safely in the last 11 games in which he's registered an at-bat. Alonso has also also been making solid contact in June, as his .318/.400/.545 line for the month includes nine extra-base hits (six doubles, three home runs).
