Alonso (wrist) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso was scheduled to take batting practice Saturday with the hope that he might be able to return to the lineup for the series finale, but his bruised wrist is apparently still presenting some complications. With Alonso absent from the lineup for the eighth time in nine games, Ryon Healy will occupy first base, opening up the DH spot for Stephen Vogt.

Alonso (wrist) was not available off the bench Saturday and his status heading into Sunday's series finale is uncertain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was hope that Alonso, who is working his way back from a wrist contusion, would be available if necessary Saturday, but manager Bob Melvin told reporters after the game that the veteran first baseman was unable to give it a go. With that, it appears that Ryon Healy is the likeliest candidate to start at first base Sunday. There is an outside chance that Alonso will be able to get back into the lineup, but further confirmation won't be available until early Sunday.

Alonso (wrist) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Although he's listed as available on the lineup card, Alonso isn't expected to be an option off the bench for Friday's series opener in the Bronx. Friday marks Alonso's second straight absence as a result of the wrist contusion he suffered Tuesday after being hit by a pitch. Ryon Healy will get another start at first base Friday and Alonso's next chance to return to the lineup will come Saturday.

Alonso (wrist) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although X-rays on the first baseman's wrist came back negative, the Athletics will hold him out of action Wednesday to effectively give him two days off before the weekend series with the Yankees. Alonso will be replaced by Ryon Healy at first base for the time being.

Alonso was diagnosed with a right wrist contusion after initial X-rays came back negative, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
This news comes as a major relief after Alonso was hit flush on the wrist and removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins -- his first since being sidelined with a sore knee over the weekend. While X-rays were negative, he is still dealing with a contusion, so there's still the possibility of Alonso sitting out Wednesday with an off-day looming before the A's weekend set with the Yankees. Look for a further update on Alonso's status during the day Wednesday, but if he's unavailable for the series finale, Ryon Healy would likely fill in at first base.

Alonso exited Tuesday's game against the Marlins after being hit on the hand by a pitch, John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a tough turn of events as Alonso was making his return from a four-game absence and had clubbed his 13th home run earlier in the contest. He was hit by a Jarlin Garcia offering and briefly stayed in the game to run for himself, but was replaced by Mark Canha at first base for the top of the seventh inning. There's no word yet on the extent of Alonso's injury, but this will be something to monitor throughout the day Wednesday. Ryon Healy would likely fill in at first base if Alonso has to miss additional time beyond Tuesday.

Alonso (knee) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins, batting fifth and playing first base, Joe Stiglich of NBC Sports California reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso missed the past four games due to knee soreness, but it seems like all the issues with his knee have subsided enough to let him re-enter the lineup. He'll resume his spot in the lineup sandwiched between sluggers Khris Davis and Ryon Healy.

Alonso (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, John Hickey of the East Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso was removed from Wednesday's game with knee soreness and was held out from the team's following three games. Sunday's absence will be his fourth straight, though it's possible that he's healthy enough to play but is sitting out due to the fact that the left-handed Eduardo Rodriguez is on the mound for the Red Sox. Ryon Healy will draw the start at first base Sunday.
