New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is likely going to be placed on the injured list before Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates because of a wrist injury.
Per MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, an IL stint for Alonso "seems probable" as the Mets wait for additional information about his medical tests.
Alonso is in his fifth MLB season, all with the Mets. He's hitting .231/.326/.546 with an MLB-best 22 home runs and an NL-high 49 RBI. The 28-year-old was hit by a pitch in his first at-bat of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves.
Mets manager Buck Showalter told reporters Alonso had a CT scan in Atlanta on Thursday morning and flew back to New York for additional testing.
