Escapes with cut lip Alonso suffered a swollen and cut lip but no concussion after being hit by a pitch in Thursday's game against Nationals, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Impact Alonso was hit by a pitch in the shoulder in the ninth inning and immediately exited the game. However, the primary damage came when the ball deflected off his helmet, which then made contact with his face and cut his lip. Despite the scary optics, it appeared that Alonso dodged a serious injury, and he confirmed that with the media after the game. The expectation is that Alonso will be in the lineup Friday against the Nationals, though that will still be worth confirming.

Exits early after HBP Alonso exited Thursday's game against the Nationals after being hit by a pitch on the shoulder in the ninth inning, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact It initially appeared Alonso was struck in the face, though the primary impact of the ball was to his shoulder. Though he exited with trainers, Alonso appeared to be fine and walked off the field under his own power. He was also spotted in the dugout after the incident with ice applied to his mouth, further confirmation that he dodged a serious injury. Nevertheless, Alonso should be considered day-to-day and isn't guaranteed to be in the lineup Friday.

Signs for $7.4 million Alonso signed a one-year, $7.4 million contract with the Mets on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In two of the last three seasons, Alonso has earned more from his $1 million prize for winning the Home Run Derby than he did from his pre-arbitration salary, but he'll finally get paid something a little closer to his true value. He's coming off a season in which he struck out a career-low 19.9 percent of the time en route to a .262/.344/.519 slash line, clearing the fence 37 times. He should anchor an improved Mets lineup again in the upcoming campaign.
