New York Mets star first baseman Pete Alonso will miss 3-to-4 weeks with a bone bruise and a sprain in his left wrist.

The Mets placed Alonso, whose 22 homers lead the majors, on the 10-day injured list Friday. He was hit in the wrist by a 96 mph fastball from Charlie Morton in the first inning Wednesday against Atlanta.

Alonso traveled to New York for testing on Thursday. X-rays revealed no broken bones, but the Mets will be missing one of the premier power hitters in the game as they try to work their way back into contention in the NL East.

“We got better news than it could have been,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said. “So we take that as a positive.”

ASTROS STAR HAS OBLIQUE INJURY >> Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez, who leads the majors with 55 RBIs, has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right oblique discomfort.

Alvarez was removed after one at-bat Thursday at Toronto, telling reporters that he initially felt discomfort during batting practice.

The 25-year-old Alvarez is hitting .272 with 17 homers in 57 games.

Alvarez made his first All-Star team last season, when he hit .306 with 37 homers and 97 RBIs.

RED SOX’S SALE WILL HAVE LENGHTHY ABSENCE >> Boston left-hander Chris Sale will be sidelined until at least August because of a stress reaction in his left scapula, the latest in a series of setbacks since the Red Sox agreed to a long-term deal before the 2019 season that guaranteed him $160 million.

Sale left a June 1 start against Cincinnati in the fourth inning because of shoulder soreness, an outing in which his velocity started to drop in the third. The 34-year-old went on the 15-day injured list the following day and Boston moved him to the 60-day IL on Friday. He won’t throw for three-to-four weeks, and the earliest he can return is Aug. 1.

Sale is 16-15 with a 4.21 ERA in 47 starts since agreeing in March 2019 to a deal that added $145 million over five years through 2024. He had been an All-Star for seven straight seasons at the time of the contract, going 103-62 with a 2.89 ERA in his first nine big league seasons.
