Alonso is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Alonso started the last 35 games and posted a .967 OPS with 13 home runs and 31 RBI in that stretch, but he'll take a seat for the series opener. The rookie slugger is 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts in his last three contests, so it seems to be a good time for a day off. Todd Frazier will start at first base and bat sixth in his absence.
