Mets' Pete Alonso (Hand) Out of Starting Lineup vs. Reds
NEW YORK, JUL 20 – Pete Alonso's franchise-record 353-game streak is at risk after he was sidelined with a right-hand contusion, missing the Mets' game against the Cincinnati Reds.
- Pete Alonso, the Mets' regular first baseman, was removed from the starting lineup on July 20, 2025, against the Cincinnati Reds due to a contusion on his right hand.
- Alonso experienced discomfort at the base of his thumb during Saturday's game and alerted training staff, leading the Mets to take precautions because hand injuries can linger.
- Alonso entered the game later as a defensive substitute in an effort to maintain his club record of appearing in 353 games in a row dating back to June 18, 2023.
- He is batting.276 with an.892 OPS this season, having hit 21 home runs and leading the league with 26 doubles, although his performance has dropped markedly in July.
- The Mets’ caution suggests Alonso may need rest to avoid worsening the injury, which places his consecutive games streak and playing status in jeopardy.
