X-rays on Alonso's left wrist came back negative Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

After taking a 97-mph fastball to the hand during Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Alonso appears to have avoided a major injury. The Mets are officially calling it a bruised left wrist for Alonso, and he is listed as day-to-day.

Alonso was removed from Wednesday's game in Atlanta after being hit on the left hand/wrist by a pitch, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

A 97-mph fastball from Charlie Morton struck Alonso, who crumpled to the ground in pain before walking to first base. He had a brief conversation with Mets manager Buck Showalter and the trainer before retreating to the clubhouse, where he will undoubtedly undergo X-rays.

Mountcastle is out of the lineup Wednesday versus Milwaukee.

Mountcastle will sit for the second time in four games, and he has gone just 2-for-11 in his three games in June. Ryan O'Hearn will line up at first base and hit seventh against Corbin Burnes and the Brewers.

Noda went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over the Pirates.

Noda now has four multi-hit performances in his last five games, going 8-for-18 (.444) in that span. He extended Oakland's lead to 8-3 Wednesday with a homer off Luis Ortiz, his seventh of the year and third in his last 10 contests. Overall, the 27-year-old Noda is slashing .255/.415/.473 with 32 runs scored, 23 RBI and two stolen bases through 212 plate appearances in his rookie campaign.

Diaz is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz gets a chance to rest while in the midst of a five-game hitting streak while hitting .364/.417/.455 in the month of June. Luke Raley is playing first base and hitting cleanup, while Josh Lowe will handle the leadoff spot in the place of Diaz while patrolling left field.

Solano will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Solano will stick in the lineup for the fifth consecutive game, with the 35-year-old picking up three starts at first base and two at designated hitter during that stretch. While both Joey Gallo (hamstring) and Byron Buxton (rib) are on the 10-day injured list, Solano and Willi Castro could both have paths to steady playing time versus both left- and right-handed pitching.

Arias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Arias had started in five of the Guardians' past six games, but with Josh Bell coming off the paternity list Tuesday and with Amed Rosario (knee) returning to the lineup Wednesday after a two-game absence, Cleveland has all its key position players back in the fold. Expect Arias to serve mostly as a short-side platoon player moving forward.

Ellis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Ellis had started in each of the Phillies' last five games, but aside from turning in a big two-home run, three-RBI performance in Sunday's 11-3 win over the Nationals, he's otherwise come up largely empty at the plate (1-for-13 with two walks and five strikeouts). He'll give way to Josh Harrison at third base Wednesday, though Ellis should have some security in a near-everyday role at a corner-infield spot until the Phillies get one of Darick Hall (thumb) or Alec Bohm (hamstring) back from the injured list.

Manzardo is slashing .243/.346/.449 with three home runs and a 28:18 K:BB over his last 30 games for Triple-A Durham.

His line for the season (.261/.360/.489) is more impressive than this recent run, but Manzardo's wRC+ is down to 110, which is not an impressive mark for a Triple-A first baseman. He is still one of the better pure hitters in the minors, but given that Manzardo is not yet on the 40-man roster, a promotion to the majors does not appear imminent.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

O'Hearn took Joel Payamps deep to left center in the seventh to put the Orioles ahead 3-2. It was his first home run since May 20. The 29-year-old has seven hits over his last five games while seeing steady action versus righties. He's raised his slash line to .302/.345/.566 with three homers, 15 RBI, six runs and a 4:13 BB:K over 58 plate appearances.
