New York Mets slugger and first baseman Pete Alonso sustained a left wrist injury and is expected to miss the next three or four weeks.
Atlanta Braves pitcher Charlie Morton hit Alonso with a 97 mph fastball, which ricocheted off Alonso’s left wrist. Morton stated that the pitch got away from him and he never had any intention to hit Alonso.
The Mets ultimately diagnosed Alonso with a sprained wrist and bone bruise. They sent him to the IL with an anticipated return in three to four weeks. The Mets hope to have him back before the All-Star Game, which is scheduled for July 11.
