  Alonso is day-to-day after a CT scan confirmed he didn't suffer a fracture when he was hit by a pitch in the right hand during Wednesday's 10-3 loss to the Dodgers, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

  Rotowire Apr 29, 2024

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Cracks two homers in loss

  Rotowire Apr 13, 2024

  Alonso went 3-for-3 with a walk, two solo home runs and an additional RBI in Saturday's 11-7 loss to the Royals. Make it four home runs in the last four games and six in total this season for Alonso, who is chasing his third straight campaign of 40 or more homers. He has raised his OPS from .532 to .963 in his last four games, which illustrates just how quickly the narrative can change this early in the season.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Slugs clutch homer Thursday

  Alonso went 3-for-9 with a solo home run, three total runs and a walk in Thursday's doubleheader split with Detroit. Alonso struck out five times across 10 plate appearances in the doubleheader, but that didn't prevent him from making an offensive impact. In Game 1, he reached base three times and scored two of New York's three runs, and in the nightcap he slugged a solo homer in the ninth inning to tie the score in what became the Mets' first win of the campaign. Alonso is slashing .292/.346/.542 through 26 plate appearances and has two homers, both of which have been solo shots to account for his two RBI on the season.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Ready for Opening Day

  Rotowire Mar 20, 2024

  Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. The first baseman has had a strong spring at the plate, batting .289 (11-for-38) with seven of his hits (two homers, five doubles) going for extra bases, plus a 7:11 BB:K. Strikeouts will always be part of the package with Alonso, but his .217 batting average in 2023 was the very bottom of his expected range thanks to a .205 BABIP that was 74 points lower than his 2022 mark. Despite his struggles making consistent contact, he still slugged at least 40 homers for the second straight campaign and the third time in his four full MLB seasons. Alonso will again hit in the heart of the Mets' order and should be one of the most reliable power hitters available for fantasy GMs.

  Rotowire Jan 11, 2024

  Alonso signed a one-year, $20.5 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Alonso is in the final year of arbitration eligibility and saw his salary jump $6 million from 2023. He's proven to be one of the most consistent power producers across five full seasons in the majors, reaching 40 homers in each of the last two campaigns and three times overall. Assuming he and the Mets don't agree to an extension, Alonso will hit free agency next offseason.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Hires Boras as agent

  Rotowire Oct 5, 2023

  Alonso has hired BorasCorp agency to represent him, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Alonso has one year remaining of arbitration eligibility before free agency and has decided to add Scott Boras as his new representation as he seeks a long-term contract.
