New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was held out of the starting lineup Sunday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds due to a right-hand contusion.
Alonso has played in all 99 games this season for the Mets and has appeared in a franchise-record 353 consecutive regular-season games dating back to June 18, 2023. The five-time All-Star is mired in a 2-for-30 stretch with eight strikeouts over his past seven games.
Mark Vientos is listed to bat fourth in the lineup and start at first base in the series finale against the Reds.
'(Alonso is) dealing with a right-hand contusion, kind of like to the base of thumb area,' Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday morning.
'Felt it the first couple of at-bats yesterday. We took some X-rays and they were negative. He's day-to-day, he's getting treatment, and he says he's a lot better this morning.'
Alonso, 30, is batting .276 with 21 homers and 77 RBIs this season.
A two-time Home Run Derby winner, Alonso is hitting .252 with 247 homers and 663 RBIs in 945 career games with the Mets.
The Mets dropped the first two games of the series with the Reds.
