The Mets provided updates on Pete Alonso and Starling Marte ahead of tonight’s game, both of whom left last night’s game due to injury. The news was positive for both players.
Follow-up testing on Alonso’s hand, which was struck by a 96 mph Yu Darvish sinker, revealed no breaks or fractures. As of now, the Mets are considering him day-to-day. His hand is still very swollen, but Alonso said he was “kind of surprised in a good way” at how the hand felt today. Last year, he suffered a similar injury and tried to play through it and will take a more cautious approach this time around, allowing the hand to fully heal first.
