Not starting Wednesday Alonso is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Alonso finds himself on the bench for the fourth time this season. That's not a high number by any means, though it's higher than one would have expected giving his fantastic .260/.358/.583 slash line as a rookie. He hasn't come close to matching that this year, however, hitting .216/.318/.433. Dominic Smith will be the first baseman Wednesday, with J.D. Davis serving as the designated hitter.

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.

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.
