In 22 games since July 22, the 29-year-old All-Star slugger is hitting .280 (23-for-82) with seven round-trippers, 17 RBI, and 13 runs scored.

Alonso is now hitting .246 with 25 home runs, 63 RBI, three stolen bases, and 67 runs in 439 at-bats. The veteran has hit three home runs in his last seven games after a bit of a cold spell. Alonso will look to keep this hot stretch up on Friday when the Mets travel to Seattle to play a three-game set with the Mariners.

Sat Aug 306:35Pete Alonso Homers In Win Over Angels
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso had a big night in his team's 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Alonso went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run homer to help power the Mets to victory. The veteran first baseman's homer was a bomb, traveling 421 feet with an exit velocity of 113.8 MPH and giving the Mets a 3-1 lead in the third inning. Alonso is now hitting .242 with 23 homers, 62 runs, 59 RBI, and two stolen bases across 418 at-bats in 2024, proving his worth as an elite source of power numbers in fantasy leagues.

Tue Jul 3002:37Pete Alonso Powers Up Monday With Solo Homer, RBI Double
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso powered up on Monday night with a solo home run and an RBI double in a 14-2 onslaught victory against the Minnesota Twins. He went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored in Monday's win. Alonso has had a subpar season in the power department for his standards, as he's barely on pace to crack 30 home runs this year, where he was able to smack 40-plus long balls each of the last two seasons. It doesn't bode well for the 29-year-old slugger who hits free agency for the first time in his career, especially since power-hitting first basemen have been moderately valued over the past few seasons. If he can find his vintage power stroke and boost that batting average up to the .270 range, he should be highly sought after by teams during the offseason, but if things go south for the Polar Bear for the last couple of months, he could be headed for a one-year prove-it deal in 2025.

Thu Jul 2508:14Pete Alonso Hits 20th Homer
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 1-for-4 with a walk and two-run homer in Wednesday's victory against the rival New York Yankees. Alonso crushed a two-run homer off Gerrit Cole in the top of the fourth inning to give the Mets a 3-2 lead at the time and it was all Mets from there. Alonso hasn't put up the big power numbers from his 2023 campaign but he is still having a solid season with a .240 batting average to go along with 20 homers and 53 RBI. The upcoming free-agent has stated he wants to stay with the Mets and is likely to remain on the roster past the deadline with the Mets five games over .500. No matter the uniform, Alonso is one of the best first baseman in the game.

Tue Jul 1609:09Pete Alonso Prefers Not To Be Traded
On Monday, New York Mets All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso said he would prefer to remain with the team despite trade rumors surrounding him. Alonso said "he loves the organization" and wants to help the team reach the postseason. He entered the break hitting .240/.319/.454 with 19 homers, 51 RBI, and 53 runs scored with a .772 OPS. After a slow start, Alonso has hit .270/.345/.460 with five homers, 19 RBI, and 15 runs scored over the past month. Fantasy managers will continue to hang onto Alonso, regardless of whether he remains with the Mets or has a new address after the trade deadline.

Mon Jul 122:32Pete Alonso More Likely To Stick With Mets Past Trade Deadline
Rival MLB teams who have expressed interest in New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso are convinced that Alonso will definitely stay put as long as the Mets are within five games of the wild-card race. After their extra-inning win over the division-rival Washington Nationals on Monday, the Mets are the first team currently on the outside looking in of the National League wild-card race, sitting 1.5 games back of the St. Louis Cardinals. They are 13-4 in their last 17 games, so as of now, the Mets appear ready to make a run at the postseason with Alonso in the fold. The three-time All-Star and former NL Rookie of the Year is an elite power bat for the Mets and fantasy managers after hitting 40-plus homers each of the previous two seasons. Alonso is also hitting .245 (76-for-310) after hitting a career-low .217 in 2023.

Mon Jun 1710:00Pete Alonso Knocks In Five Runs
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has been off to an extremely slow start to the season. However, the right-handed slugger was able to find a spark during Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run and five RBI during the blowout win. This five-RBI performance matched his total amount of runs driven in coming into that contest. Fantasy managers are hopeful that this is a sign of Alonso finally getting back on track.

Fri May 3116:04Pete Alonso Back For The Mets On Friday
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (hand) had a scare with a hand injury in the series finale against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday but is back in the starting lineup on Friday for the second game of the series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks after sitting out on Thursday. Alonso is back at first base and is hitting second on Friday versus D-backs left-hander Jordan Montgomery. X-rays and a CT scan came back negative on the 29-year-old's right hand after he was hit by a pitch by a James Paxton fastball in the first inning on Wednesday. In six career at-bats against Montgomery, Alonso is hitting just .167 with two RBI, but fantasy managers will want to get him back in there in all formats. Alonso already has 12 homers and 26 RBI with a .235 average (50-for-213) for the Mets this year.

Thu May 3015:59Pete Alonso Not Playing Thursday
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday for the series opener against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. Alonso was pulled from Wednesday's loss to the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers after getting hit by a pitch on his right hand in the first inning, but thankfully X-rays and a CT scan on his hand have come back negative. It's excellent news for both the Mets and fantasy managers that the 29-year-old All-Star slugger isn't dealing with a serious injury, but the Mets are playing it safe and keeping him out on Thursday. Alonso should be considered day-to-day for now, and fantasy managers should check back on Friday to see if he's back in there. He's a must-start whenever he's playing. Mark Vientos is handling first and will hit seventh on Thursday, while Brett Baty is at third base and is betting eighth against D-backs right-hander Zac Gallen.

Thu May 3013:10CT Scan Comes Back Negative On Pete Alonso
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso's (hand) CT scan on his right hand came back negative for any fractures, according to a source, and he's considered day-to-day. Alonso was hit by a James Paxton fastball on his right hand in his first at-bat in the loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday and was immediately removed from the game. Initial X-rays came back negative, and now he seems to be in the clear for any kind of significant injury to his hand after his CT scan also came back negative. The Mets haven't released their lineup yet for Thursday's series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect Alonso to be in it. When in the lineup, the 29-year-old Alonso is a must-start in all fantasy lineups for his elite power. He's currently hitting .231 (49-for-212) with 12 homers and 26 RBI.

Wed May 2920:39X-Rays Come Back Negative On Pete Alonso's Hand
X-rays came back negative on New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso's right hand on Wednesday, but the Mets won't have CT-scan results until Thursday. They still need to confirm there is no break after Alonso was hit in the hand in the first inning of Wednesday's loss in the first inning by Los Angeles Dodgers lefty James Paxton. Alonso isn't out of the woods just yet and could still require a trip to the injured list, but for now, he's avoided a serious hand injury. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now but he shouldn't be expected to be in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks, even if his CT scan also comes back negative. After Alonso left, Mark Vientos slid to first from third base, and Brett Baty entered the game off the bench to play third base for the Mets. Check back for more updates on Alonso on Thursday.

Wed May 2916:35Pete Alonso Leaves After Being Hit By Pitch
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (hand) was removed from Wednesday's contest against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers after he was hit by a pitch from left-hander James Paxton on his right hand in his first at-bat of the game. It's not good, but we will know more after Alonso undergoes testing on his injured hand. At the very least, fantasy managers should expect the right-handed slugger to miss Thursday's series opener against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks if his tests come back negative for any broken bones. It's the last team a struggling Mets team needs is to lose their best power bat in the middle of the lineup. After Alonso left, Mark Vientos shifted across the diamond from third to first and Brett Baty came off the bench to play the hot corner for the Mets. Check back for an update on Alonso soon.

Fri May 1708:44Pete Alonso Hits 10th Homer
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a solo home run in Thursday's extra innings victory against the Philadelphia Phillies. Alonso's homer would come off Taijuan Walker in the top of the first inning and was his 10th of the season. Alonso has shown his power this season with 23 RBI to go along with his 10 homers, but he hasn't helped managers in the batting average department at .226 on the season. The upcoming free-agent continues to supply managers with plenty of strong power numbers and even with a low batting average, he offers managers plenty of value. Alonso will look to keep the power stroke going on Friday versus Jesus Luzardo to kick off a three-game series with the Miami Marlins on the road.

Wed May 808:24Pete Alonso Blasts Homer In Win
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was able to put together a strong performance during Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The right-handed slugger went 2-for-5 with a home run, double, and three RBI in the win. His two-run double gave the Mets the lead and his home run was added insurance in the eighth inning. Alonso hasn't really been himself this season, but is beginning to heat up at the plate, which is good news for fantasy managers.

Mon May 617:34Pete Alonso Retreats To The Bench Monday
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso will start on the bench on Monday in the series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. As a result, outfielder DJ Stewart will make his first career start at first base and will hit in the cleanup spot versus Cardinals right-hander Kyle Gibson. This will be Alonso's first day off of the 2024 season. The 29-year-old right-handed slugger has gone 2-for-36 (.056) with a home run, four RBI and 11 strikeouts in his last 10 games to drop his season slash line to .206/.295/.420, so it makes sense to give him a day to rest. Despite the recent slump, Alonso has eight home runs and elite power that makes him a must-start every day he's active. Stewart, who is hitting under .200, will be a boom/bust DFS play in the cleanup spot for the Mets in DFS lineups on Monday.

Mon Apr 2911:32Pete Alonso Walks Three Times On Sunday
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso walked three times in Sunday's 4-2 win against the St. Louis Cardinals. Alonso had a light day while showing his plate discipline, going 0-for-2 with three walks and one strikeout. It wasn't the best showing over the weekend against St. Louis, as he went 1-for-10 with three walks and three strikeouts, but he did add on his eighth homer on Saturday, which was his 200th career blast. The 29-year-old is slashing .248/.336/.505 with three doubles, 14 RBI, 20 runs, eight homers, 12 walks and 23 strikeouts for the season. The Mets will kick off Monday with a prime matchup versus the Chicago Cubs, starting a four-game series. Fantasy managers should continue to start Alonso in all leagues.

Mon Apr 2214:46Pete Alonso Hits A Single In Loss On Sunday
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was one of seven players to get a hit against Los Angeles starter Tyler Glasnow in the team's 10-0 loss on Sunday. Alonso flew out his first time and struck out his second time before hitting a single to right field in his third at-bat of the game. It's been a bit of a slow start for the first baseman through the first 21 games of the season, as he is slashing .241/.323/.482 with six home runs, 11 RBI, and two doubles at the plate. Despite his low average, the 29-year-old will continue being a fantasy starter moving forward, given his power numbers.

Thu Apr 421:16Pete Alonso Helps Lift Mets To First Win
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso helped lift his team to their first victory of the campaign during Game 2 of a doubleheader in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers, launching his second home run of the season in the ninth inning. The Mets needed a big hit in the worst way, and Alonso got a hold of a ball under the strike zone to will one to deep center and out of the ballpark. The 29-year-old slugging superstar has been one of the lone bright spots of New York's scuffling offense to begin the year, batting .292 (7-for-24) with an .888 OPS and two solo shots in six games. Alonso looks forward to a three-game weekend series starting on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds at the Great American Ball Park, where he has a .286 batting average, five homers, and eight RBI in 12 career games at the venue. Alonso will carry added DFS appeal in a bandbox ballpark.

Sat Mar 908:39Pete Alonso Homers On Friday
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso blasted his second home run of the spring on Friday in a 3-1 Grapefruit League victory over the Miami Marlins. It was the only hit of the day for the 3x All-Star, going 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. The two-time HR Derby champ is now 6-for-19 (.316) in Grapefruit League action with all six of his hits going for extra bases. Alonso has two home runs and four doubles to go along with three walks (.409 OBP), two RBI, and three runs scored. Looks like the former second-round draft pick will have another productive season at the plate and will justify his ADP of 27 overall.
