DENVER -- Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso, hit in the head by Justin Upton's thrown helmet Saturday, was reevaluated by the team's medical staff on Sunday morning and was deemed fit to play.
"He's fine," said Padres interim manager Pat Murphy.
Alonso left Saturday's 7-5 victory over the Rockies during the eighth inning after he was struck on the right side of his head after Upton flung his helmet in frustration after returning to the dugout after being caught in a rundown on the bases.
Alonso was sitting on an elevated bench just behind the rail to the visiting dugout and was actually seated behind Upton at the time.
