New York Mets<\/a> first baseman Pete Alonso<\/a>, who has appeared in a franchise-record 353 consecutive games, was held out of the starting lineup Sunday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds<\/a> due to a right-hand contusion.<\/p>\n

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Alonso got X-rays on Saturday after feeling discomfort in the “base of the thumb area.”<\/p>\n

“He felt it the first couple of at-bats [Saturday],” Mendoza said Sunday. “He’s day-to-day. He’s getting treatment, and he says he’s a lot better this morning.”<\/p>\n
