Breaking; ESPN report Mets 1st baseman sideline in today’s game following an unexpected health challenge

Pete Alonso, the New York Mets’ power hitter, sat in the dugout, uncharacteristically quiet. The stadium buzzed with the usual pre-game energy, but something felt off. His teammates noticed the absence of his usual grin and light-hearted banter. Pete had been dealing with fatigue over the last few days, but being the competitor he was, he shrugged it off, thinking it would pass.

But this morning was different. As soon as he woke up, a wave of dizziness and nausea hit him, making even standing a challenge. He’d called the team’s medical staff, and after a quick check-up, they made the decision for him — Pete Alonso would not be playing today.

“Your health comes first, Pete,” the coach had told him, patting him on the back. “We need you for the long haul, not just one game.”

It wasn’t the news he wanted to hear. Sitting out wasn’t in his DNA. But deep down, he knew they were right. As he watched his team take the field without him, Pete promised himself he’d come back stronger, ready to give it his all when the time was right. For now, he had to trust the process — and let his body recover.
