Two hits in Monday's win Alfaro went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Mets.

Impact The multi-hit performance was his first of the year, as was his steal. Alfaro hasn't been able to get going at the plate since coming off the COVID-19 list, slashing .207/.281/.276 through nine games, but Monday's effort may be a sign that he's finding his timing.

Not starting Sunday Alfaro is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports.

Impact Alfaro caught the first game of Saturday's doubleheader and was set to sit out the second game, but he was forced into action when Francisco Cervelli exited after two innings with a concussion. Manager Don Mattingly may just want to be cautious with Alfaro's initial workload after the 27-year-old just returned to action this weekend for his 2020 debut after missing nearly a month of action while recovering from COVID-19. Brian Navarreto will spell Alfaro behind the dish Sunday.
