UPDATE, 6/7/23 AT 8:36 p.m. ET:
Mets fans can breathe a sigh of relief. After exiting in the first inning, Pete Alonso was seen back in New York’s dugout a few innings later. SNY’s Steve Gelbs provided the good news, as well. Alonso’s X-rays came back negative and he has a contusion (a bone bruise). He’s considered day-to-day.
