Mets slugger Pete Alonso exited Wednesday night’s game against the Braves after getting hit near his left wrist during his first-inning at-bat by starting pitcher Charlie Morton.
Alonso received attention from the New York training staff before leaving the field. He was replaced in the lineup by Tommy Pham. Alonso returned to the Mets dugout later in the game. He appeared to be wearing a bandage on the area where he was struck by Morton’s pitch.
Fortunately for the Mets, X-rays did not reveal a fracture, and Alonso is listed as day to day after being diagnosed with a wrist contusion, per MLB.com.
