Pete Alonso riding pine for Mets against Atlanta

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against right-hander Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Alonso will grab a seat after 18 straight starts. Dominic Smith will move to first base and into the cleanup spot in place of Alonso. Kevin Pillar will play left field and hit sixth. Albert Almora will enter the lineup in center and bat eighth.
