Yonder Alonso Hurt

In last night’s 6-0 loss at Jacksonville, LF Yonder Alonso left the game with a right shoulder contusion after crashing into the outfield wall while attempting to make a play on a flyball…he’s not expected to start in this afternoon’s game and was scheduled to be evaluated this morning.

Alonso is going to be in Cincinnati in 2011 but will they give him a shot this year?  If he keeps this up it will be tough for them not to give him some time - it would be a good idea for him to learn another position or three while he is raking in the minors since the OF is quite crowded and Joey Votto is pretty darn good in his own right at 1st base.  Scott Rolen and Votto have had some injury issues in the past so if he can adapt just a little to play both corners, he will be quite valuable with his big bat.
