Seeing more DH work Alonso will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and will bat sixth Monday against the Phillies.
Impact Alonso has now made six of his last 10 starts as a designated hitter, as the Mets have instead preferred to deploy Dominic Smith at first base of late while using Jeff McNeil in left field and Robinson Cano at the keystone. The recent shuffling of defensive roles shouldn't affect Alonso's fantasy outlook heading into 2021, as he'll still retain first-base eligibility after having already made 30 starts at the position this season.

Blasts pair of home runs Alonso went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and two strikeouts in Sunday's win against the Phillies.
Impact Alonso wasn't in the Mets' lineup Saturday, but the day off apparently served him well as he swatted three extra-base hits against the Phillies. The 25-year-old has largely struggled to begin the season, but he's now hit four home runs over his past four contests.

Heads to bench Alonso is not in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.
Impact Alonso has been surprisingly unimpressive at the plate this season, hitting just .210/.321/.406. That hasn't translated into a significant drop in playing time, as he finds himself on the bench for just the third time all year Saturday. Dominic Smith will be the first baseman in his absence.

Slugs walkoff homer Alonso went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Yankees.
Impact Alonso had a game to forget until the 10th inning, when he came to the plate in a tie game. He smacked his eighth homer of the season over the left-field wall to give the Mets a walkoff victory. Alonso has now homered in consecutive games, though he has collected just five hits in his last 41 at-bats. While his overall performance at the plate has been disappointing, Alonso has still managed 19 runs scored and 22 RBI while hitting just .209/.323/.410 across 158 plate appearances.

Slugs seventh homer Alonso went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.
Impact He crushed a sixth-inning pitch from John Means and deposited it into the second deck in left field at Camden Yards, chasing the southpaw from the game in the process. Alonso has had a tough season and can't seem to build any momentum at the plate, but despite a .722 OPS he's still supplied solid power numbers with seven homers and 20 RBI through 36 games.
