Pete Alonso about to add a ‘huge presence’ for Mets
NY Post
Slowly but surely, the Mets’ injured list is beginning to return some of its firepower to the active roster.
Pete Alonso is expected to be activated off the injured list Monday, when the Mets begin a series against the Diamondbacks in Arizona, with reliever Seth Lugo and outfielder Kevin Pillar possibly joining him. Alonso’s arrival will also force manager Luis Rojas to make a hard decision on his catchers’ playing time, after both had been starting with James McCann filling in for Alonso at first base, but a thriving Tomas Nido isn’t going away behind the plate.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
