Alonso could benefit from a day off. After a hot start to the season, where he batted .349 with a 1.143 OPS including nine home runs and 33 RBIs in his first 36 games, he’s really cooled off. He’s batting .237 with a .752 OPS, including 12 home runs and 44 RBIs in his next 63 games.

Wright missed more than four months of the 2015 season, diagnosed with spinal stenosis, before he returned to the lineup in late August, with the Mets holding a healthy lead in the NL East. Collins recalled Wright telling him he didn’t expect to hit in the middle of the lineup when he came back or disturb the way they were performing.
