Athletics' Yonder Alonso: Not in Thursday's lineup
Alonso is out of the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Rays.
Analysis:
Alonso will get a regular day off Thursday, as Danny Valencia gets the nod at first base. The 29-year-old has been playing well recently, notching three multi-hit games during his last nine starts, although he is still hitting just .256/.324/.356 on the season.
