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.
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.
