OAKLAND -- Slugging A's first baseman Yonder Alonso was removed from Tuesday's contest against the Miami Marlins, shortly after being hit in the right wrist by a pitch in the sixth inning.
Alonso took an 85 mph changeup from Jarlin Garcia square on his right wrist before collapsing to the ground. Though he took a quick visit to the dugout with A's manager Bob Melvin and head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta, Alonso returned to the field as a baserunner and finished the inning. Alonso was replaced by Rajai Davis in the top of the seventh, as center fielder Mark Canha moved over to first base.
