Yonder Alonso was hit on the right wrist by a pitch Tuesday and exited the game. X-rays came back negative, and he's considered day-to-day. (Susan Slusser on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
It appears that Alonso has avoided serious injury, though he could still require a day or two in order to recover. He's been a major surprise this season after changing his approach at the plate over the offseason. He's increased his power output immensely, leading to an OPS of 1.020. The advanced metrics seem to support this and show Alonso isn't a fluke. He should certainly be owned in all formats.
