Alonso will miss Monaco to race in the Indianapolis 500, with full support from McLaren and engine partner Honda.
McLaren executive director Zak Brown says two-time champion Alonso's replacement is "not in place".
But there is no other serious option than Button, who is contracted to McLaren as a reserve driver and will race barring unexpected circumstances.
Jenson Button retired last season.
Yesterday he tweeted this, as it was announced that McLaren driver and former teammate Fernando Alonso was to compete in the Indy 500.

Sunderland v West Ham (Sat, 15:00 BST)
West Ham United
West Ham's crucial win against Swansea last week gave them some breathing space from the relegation places.
They face bottom club Sunderland, knowing a win can effectively secure their Premier League status.
Slaven Bilic said: "Sunderland is in a situation that they are desperate for a win. It's also a big game for us to get closer to securing our status.
"We know it's going to be extremely hard, but it's a good opportunity for us to get some points and get closer to safety.
"Nobody expected Sunderland to be safe just because they appointed a big name (like David Moyes). They had big names before."
"Sadly for them, it's become a common situation and it looks really bad, but the majority of their players have been there before."
