Orioles' Pete Alonso: Avoids injury following early departure
Rotowire
Alonso (head) is expected to be fine after exiting Sunday's 8-5 win in the eighth inning following a hit-by-pitch, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Alonso took a 94.6 mph fastball off the bill of his helmet from reliever Kade Morris to open the top of the eighth inning, and Jackson Holliday immediately replaced him as a pinch-runner at first base. Following the contest, manager Craig Albernaz provided an update on Alonso, stating that the first baseman is "fine" and that the plan was always for Holliday to pinch-run in that situation.
