New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, who has appeared in a franchise-record 353 consecutive games, was held out of the starting lineup Sunday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds due to a right-hand contusion.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Alonso got X-rays on Saturday after feeling discomfort in the "base of the thumb area."
"He felt it the first couple of at-bats [Saturday]," Mendoza said Sunday. "He's day-to-day. He's getting treatment, and he says he's a lot better this morning."
Alonso has played in all 99 games this season, and his consecutive games streak dates to June 18, 2023.
